1995 7.5/460 Cam options
Alright, so I'm looking to start making some more power with my '95 EFI 460. The motor has a fresh rebuild and is in EXCELLENT condition, so it's the perfect time to get it performing like a big block truly should. It's already running without emissions components, it has a massively improved intake setup, and a full 3" exhaust (with the exception of the factory manifolds). I've come to the conclusion that the next step in the process should be an upgraded camshaft.
That being said, I'm pretty new to Cams still, and I'm not exactly sure what I can get away with. I know the FACTORY EFI system can't handle much of a cam at all, which is why I'm running standalone aftermarket Engine and Transmission controllers, so thats no longer an issue. I've been told that 460s typically respond better to increased lift than they do to increased duration, so that's what I'm leaning more towards, but I'd also like something with a little more chop and rumble than the factory cam as well, I was thinking something with a 112° LSA.
All-in-all, I think I'm looking for a good medium cam, so what can I get away with, and what would you guys recommend?
