I have a crane solid in mine at the moment. saturday night special grind, the smallest one they have listed for a SBC. .518/.536, and mine puts down 379 rwhp through an auto. Rough idle but not a lot of vacuum with this cam (about 9-10 inches). Makes good power to 6500 rpm, and will stay put until I get the funds together for a solid roller

I went with a comp cams xe274h. I have 383 with about 450 hp and it still pulls good vacuum for the power brakes. Car idles rough but runs very well. My car is also a stick.
