waste of $$...on a stock headed stock bottom end car i would run a cc503. when you start opening up the heads and such, a larger cam can be utilized

Not a great choice but at least as good as the HOT cam. Don't listen top those saing it is too small. Remember overcamming is one of the most common and enduring mistakes in hotrodding. The cam I run is fairly close to the 503 and I would call it on the big end of what is prudent on a stock shortblock.

It will make more than 350 flywheel but not rear wheel which is what most guys talk. Just so you understand how to compare numbers.
