I have a guy wanting to install a bigger cam in his '66 Coronet wagon, he want a nice sound at idle and more power but doesn't want to lose low end either. He currently has a Performer Plus cam, or so he told me last night. I think it has like .420 lift and 204 dur @ .050.
I mentioned the stock 4bbl cam to him (.429/.444 lift, 268/276 adv dur), as I have used that in my truck with good results, but it doesn't lope at idle like he wants.
I looked at the Hughes Whiplash cam and it seems to fit what he wants, anybody have any experience with it?
He mentioned the Performer RPM cam, which IIRC is a good cam also. I also mentioned the Lunati VooDoo cams to him, as I know some people really like them, or did. Looking for any other suggestions or experience you guys have.
His engine is a mid-late 70's 318 that was rebuilt last year, stock compression, stock 674 casting heads w/ stock valves, and a Performer intake and carb. Does have electronic ignition and headers, dual exhaust. Believe he has a 3.23 gear (turns 2600 rpm at 65mph), may go to a 3.55 if needed. Stock torque converter.
