cam mod. question

I need some advise of what cam to use. My truck is totally stock. It's a 77 f-250 with a 70's 460 tranplant and a AT. Would a comp xtreme (x427oh-11) be a good choice? or would that be to much? I want more torque, and HP to pull a trailer. Also I run a edelbrock 600cfm (1406) Thing is junk can't seem to get it set right. Any suggestions on a carb. would be appriciated also.
Thanks

cam mod. question

Why is the carb junk?

Most everyone agrees the AFB carbs are extremely easy to tune.

Does yours need a rebuild? Are you sure it isn't ignition?

If the carb isn't responding to adjustments maybe you have a vacuum leak.

Just something to think about.

The best place for the cam question is the 460 forum.
The Carb forum is where you go for carb help.

Thanks for using FTE!

I would suggets calling Comp Cams and ask them. they have an 800 number just for this kind of question. I called them, told them what I have and what I want to do with it, ant they told me which cam would work best. Also answered every question I had about installing it. Great help!

Also, as mil1lion said, the big block forum is a huge help.
