Although I think your cam choice would work, I believe it's at the far end of what I would put in a daily driver street car. It really depends on what you want. Do you want a car to show off? Is a lumpy idle is more important than practicality? If that's what you want, then I think it's a good choice. Do you want more practicality and drivability? I can only imagine what you pay for gas where you are. Let's face it, a big block isn't going to get very good gas mileage by today's standards anyway, but is economy important to you? If it is, go a little smaller. If you are building a daily driver then my philosophy is this; less is more when it comes to cams. A lumpy idle is cool but a smaller cam will give you more power where you can use it...in the lower to mid-range. Even in drag racing less can be more. I have a 3600 pound 71 that runs 11.50s with a Crane 224/236 @ .050 hydraulic roller in a 461 (.030 over 454). Most people don't believe that's all the cam I have in it. I think it works as good as it does because it gives me the bottom end power to get a heavy car moving. Staying within the Edelbrock line, I would recommend this cam for your application: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=EDL%2D5062&autoview=sku Bill Vander Werf ----- Original Message ----- From: Pelle Andersson To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, February 08, 2008 6:41 AM Subject: [Chevelle-list] Cam choice? Hi! What do you guys think about putting a edelbrock 7162 cam in my 402?
