cc306 355 build
I'm telling you, I daily drove with that cam for 4 years, the cam sucks. Sure it makes GREAT power up top for what it is, and sounds good. But for a street car, it was the worst decision I made when building the motor in my car. If you want an off the shelf cam, the cc 503 is a much better choice, and will be way more fun to drive on the street. Also, what gears are you running out back?
You two new guys ask for advise and when you get it and you're not happy you start saying everybody else is F'd up. Have you looked at what these guys have accomplished with their cars and you're arguing with them!??
After I blew up my 4.10s, I ran a 2.73 rear end that I had laying around for a month or two, it SUCKED with the 306. FWIW, m6 cars have 3.42 stock.
I don't know why you are getting butt hurt about this. You say you want a fun street car, everyone is telling you the 306 in NOT a fun street cam. And if you are tired of hearing it, delete your thread and do what you want to get the results you do not want.

Everyone trash talking my build my engine is going to blow up and my pos RAM clutch is going to fail, have you ever used the ram clutch? Or are you just posting about others stories? you dont know jack about the clutch. Its my first lt1 the damn thing is either going to go or blow the way i look at it. You live and you learn that's way i go through life. Doing it the "right way" MY WAY!
thats the way i look at it... u didnt ask IS THIS THE RIGHT WAY. u said this is the right way and thats ur right way... this is my 1st lt1 also and i think its funny all the diff things ppl say and the next will say something way diff then the last lol good luck man hope it goes b4 it blows
I agree with the rest of the posters on the cam choice...why put an OLD cam in a NEW build 
especially one that is not optimized for it (good ported heads, stroker, ect) Technology progresses, that is the nature of hot-rodding. You would have better driveability and power with a more modern cam design period. Something to consider NOW.
As for the RAM clutch, they are not all a POS as others suggest here
I have one of their "powergrip" clutches which is a step above what you have I believe....it's been holding up just fine to my H/C/I/383 which should be making well over 400 RWTQ and it handles the abuse no problem...can even break loose the 315mm tires shifting from 3rd to 4th gear at over 90mph 
(4.10's); hasn't slipped or been a pain to drive at all. I would probably step it up to this model at least (550hp rated):

You were on the right path with the smaller cam....port matched runners aren't going to do **** as far as power/driveability with that cam. Save your $$ for this port matching and by a decent SMALLER cam....or don't follow everyone's advice and end up with a sub-par performer with no power or torque under 3000 RPM....your choice.

I have a built 355 with the 306 cam and I daily drive it. If I could do it all over again I would've never used that cam. It's not bad but there are much better choices out there. Take the advice that has been posted here! Please do your research before wasting money!
