Which cam for a 408? The setup is a 408 and AFR 225cc heads with a final compression of 8.4:1. The blower is an F1-C pushing 19-22psi at 6800-7000 RPM. I spoke with few people and I have an narrowed down my choice to 3 cams. Which cam should I go with?

The car will not have A/C, but it can be used on the street. Of course it will not be a daily driver. I will define it as a race car once i drop a TH400 in it. Until then i will consider it a weekend fun/strip car.

i picked the last one because it has the biggest int./ex. slpit.... blowers need a big split but i dont think it needs to be that big of a duration... or lift.... but thats just me... mine is a th350 408 home ported 241 heads with 4.10 gears 28'' tires.

but dont get me wrong everyone has different intentions for their setup... and if you plan to drive your car on highways and race it on the interstates then im sure that will suit you well because a high power band is what street racing is.... plus im sure it will sound good too...

Can you explain why you feel this way? I'm no cam expert, but I would think with the correct valve timing some advance may be necessary to acheive your target numbers. Usually, advancing will sacrifice a few peak ponies and produce more average through out the curve.
Thanks
