I need gears!
You live in FL.
The op lives at 5,000+ feet. The cc306 is a terrible cam for this altitude even with stock ported heads...
You ever heard of something called DCR? Have you ever ran this cam?
I have seen a lot of cam only and head / cam cars with the 306 and even at sea level they usually have mediocre results, unless you're looking for a dyno number.
A lot of people get caught up in peak numbers. Just like the op stated there are lots of cc306 cars that make 345-360 hp. Well guess what, that dont mean **** in a race, especially on the street. I loooovvveee seeing those "360 hp cam only 306" cars get WALKED by a better thought out combo that makes maybe 330-345 rwhp but the damn dyno sheet doesn't look like mt everest.
If you have any doubt go look at the cc306 dyno sheet a few threads down, the turd was making 150hp when the run started and didn't achieve peak power until 5500.
You use that cam at this altitude and it will run like ****, period.

how do people like you (gregrob) seem to always find my threads? You know your ****, thats cool, quit being a dick and just give your advise. I know that if the cc306 is not the best cam for a stock headed car its not going to be good at all at this elevation. That said what would you do in my situation? I don't have the money for headwork, i just want to use the best cam for stock heads.
If you know it's not the best cam for a stock headed car, why would you use it?
It doesn't really matter what I say. You need to do your own research and come to your own conclusions. If you really want my thoughts PM me and I'll give them to you.
Or instead of doing any real research you could just run mis-matched off the shelf parts and you'll get mediocre to poor results.

look at the cam sticky above, all the info you need is there. If I were you I would get 4.10's. You would rev higher in the first couple of gears but once you shift into 5th-6th/OD you'll be ok

Do your research and ask around, find out what cam works best for your app in your area. There are a ton of options out there and As far as the gears go...I know you said 3.73's. I think either 3.90's or 4.10's would work great.
I don't want to run mis matched parts, thats why I'm asking questions and collecting feedback, I don't have time to do a ton if any research at all lately and just wanted an honest opinion. I don't think its going to take a ton of research to find a good cam for a bolt on stock headed lt1 and i hate computers. I'm not good with words, and don't want to defend myself on the internet internet. I just want to make my car faster, thats all.

dcr is overrated imo, it doesnt take overlap into account and cylinder "charging." run a nice tight lobe center and you dont have to kill duration to make nice midrange power (cylinder pressure!)
