For your heavy GTO I would use a grind like patricks but with less lift. This will make lots of good street torque.

.224/.228 110lsa +2 .581/.588

Ok I read the article, so what I need is less duration and alittle less lift than the aboved mentioned cam, so inconjunction with cam I have now which direction do I need to go. I don't drive the car everyday, only to cruise ins and to the dragstrip more to it than anything, please help me out.The cam in the car now makes 375hp and 350 tq with big *** converter.I'm wanting more HP and TQ more HP on the big end thats where I fill like the car is falling off.Best 1/8 time is 7.515, also will be putting 3.91 gears in also

OK with your 3.91 gear I would use:

CUSTOM Comp XE-R 228/232 110 +2 .588/.595

If you only drive the car to cruises and the dragstrip, why not go with something bigger. In the 230's or larger even. If you are willing to rev it high and get that top end power, a larger cam is what you are looking for.

I just received that exact cam today and am hoping to get it installed tomorrow. I'm also running a 12-bolt with 3.90s, so if you can wait a few days to order, I can post up my initial impressions of the cam after getting a rough tune in place.

And yes, +2 means two degrees advanced (108 ICL).

Thanks, I appreciate it , I've been beating myself up trying to figure out what to do about another cam.
