cam question I'm looking to keep my stock heads and want to buy a cam. I was set on the cc503 224, 230 112 lobe, but after reading a lot of people wishing they would have gone big in the first place has changed my mind...i think. I dont really like how the cc306 is such a high rpm cam and hurts the low end tq. is there a cam that is in between the 503 and the 306? im looking for around 350-360 at the wheels with all the bolt ons.
any help would be appreciated

The 847 will get you the best numbers and driveability on a stock head LT1 that you will get from an off the shelf cam. A friend of mine has had both the 306 and the 847, and driveability was much better on the 847. As far as the 503/305, many people have been much happier with the 305 and seem to have better results.

I think the 306 is good through out the entire rpm range depending on you are stalled correctly or if you have an M6. I made peak tq at 3600rpm and peak hp at 6500. I have been turning it up that high for a couple years now and had no problems.
