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

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.

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