Dude do a search, or scroll down and you will find gobs of different combos, and different outputs. Eacha dn every vehicle is exactly DIFFERENT. hell, I'd put money on that if you buy two cams the same grind, and install, dyno and swap you will come with a different number for each due to the weather, time, and tolerance diff between each.

most people don't run valves that big on a 346. its kind of overkill, but not in a good way. most heads and cam car run around 11.0-11.5 on slicks. the bigger valves will hurt you more then help you. most go with 2.02 intakes and 1.57 exhaust unless you've got extra cubes...2.08 is just silly. if your going for lots of power then get the 230/224 cam or bigger.

I have a 230/226 .591/.569 112 for sale. I made 390RWHP and 418RWTQ tuned with stock heads through an auto tranny. Asking $350 for it. LMK
