cam opinion a buddy of mine has a 71 nova with a 10.0 to 1 355, vortec heads, dual plane air gap intake, 670cfm carb, and a 230/230 .480 .480 110lsa. It has a th350 trans with a 3500 stall. He wants to put a bigger cam in that can utilize the converter better, make more power, and still have a nasty idle. The car is mainly street driven with occasional track use. Streetability is not to much of a concern. He is thinking about a 234/244 .488 .510 114lsa. What do you guys think? Any other suggestions?
I ran low 12's in a 75 nova with a 357, ported vortecs (906's), 11:1 SCR, 8.4:1 DCR, perf RPM airgap, 750 vac sec Holley. 3200 stall speed, 3.73 gears, street tires, RMVB th400.
2 1/4 dual exhaust.
It idled pretty mean due to the 110 lobe sep, going with the 114 you have listed will idle not as rough.

I wouldnt run that cam, 114 dont work well on a 350. looks like a summit cam. I would run a solid myself, i havent looks at sb cams for awhile, but if you have to run hydralic i would get something around 236 intake 242 exhaust on a 108 or 110.
