Excellant 305 Cam ... Sick
------------------------------
Part Number - CS1062R
Brand - Speed Pro
Power Range - 2200-5700
Idle Quality - Fair
Valve Lift Int/Exh - .468 .480
Duration Adv. Int/Exh - 304° 287°
Duration @.050 Int/Exh - 220° 231°
Lobe Centerline - 110°


It fits small block Chevy 283, 302, 305, 307, 327, 350, 383, and 400 V8 engines except 1987 and newer engines with OEM roller cams. These motors are most commonly found in the Chevrolet Camaro Z28, Caprice, Chevelle, Chevy II, El Camino, Impala, Malibu, Monte Carlo, and Nova passenger cars, and also, Blazer, Suburban, and Chevy GMC GM General Motors light duty pickup trucks and vans.

It is designed for the street performance enthusiast looking to add a significant power increase with good mid-range torque and drivability in their street rod or muscle car. It has computer generated cam profile that significantly increases horse power, while still retaining a fair idle quality with only 3-6 lbs. of vacuum loss.

The Pro 3000 Series of cams from Speed Pro work best with the following components:

Axle Ratio: 3.20 to 4.20
Carburetion: 4 bbl
Compression: 9.0-1 to 10.3-1
Computer: Computer will require aftermarket chip
Exhaust: Headers with dual exhaust
Intake Manifold: Works best with aftermarket dual plane high rise intake
Transmission: Stock automatic (stall converter optional) or manual transmission

that cam should work great with a 350. it's about the hottest cam you can get without having to make radical internal mods. Sick
