That's a pretty mild cam, what motor is it going in? EFI or carb?

OK.. that's a good start.

What are your goals for this project?
How much power would you like?
What kind of fuel milage do you want?
Do you want a noticable idle?
What vehicle?
What gearing and trans?
What's the intended use?

It is a 1978 ford truck cab that I have put on a 1979 ford bronco frame. It has a 351m that I am building back as a 400,with a c6 tranny, I have now idea what gears I havent checked yet. I real dont care what kinda fuel mileage I get cause its not my daily driver.
I am wanting a noticable idle but I dont want to have to change my torque converter.

The cam I asked about before, I know is a mild cam but would it give me what I am wanting.
