Camshaft reccomendations for 350 LT1 rebuild
I am rebuilding a 350 and picking the right camshaft for my project has me a bit nervous and I would appreciate your help. It is going to be put in my Camaro and it will be my daily driver, but I want to be able to pump out some horses when I need to put some ricers or stangs at bay :P Here are the specs for my engine so far:
350 SBC LT1
0.080" bored over
Heads w/ 67cc http://performanceparts.com/part.php?partID=302400
Edelbrock 3704 Intake Manifold http://spideraccessories.stores.yaho...rtbiinmae.html
I am also planning on getting this throttle body replacement http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CMJN8Q
If you need more info on parts let me know. My guess is that I need a cam with an operating range that is at least 5,500 RPM to match the intake manifold? I do have some expendable income, and I would like to have something cheap and reliable, but I am open to suggestions of any price cam to get as long as its not something like $800 :P Oh, and if it's in a kit that would be nice
Thanks in advance for the help guys. I really need it so I can get back on track with rebuilding my engine and getting my Maro back on the road!

Okay, I should probably mention this first. When I pulled the engine, it had an Edelbrock 2204 roller cam installed ... http://performanceparts.com/part.php?partID=136594 . I still have the rollers and everything it came with, but the website says its not for LT1 engines. I have never seen this engine run at all, but it was in there at one point. The car was probably gotten rid of because the crankshaft and a piston rod binded which leads me to believe that the cam didn't cause any problems. Does anyone know if I can use it, or should I spring for something else?
