workalot2 First name would be nice. You are running a stock block with low compression. The 3.50 gears will help to motor pull easier. Are there any mods done to the heads or intake manifold. I am talking about porting, gasket matching, or evening out the flow to all cylinders. Every cam manufacture has a power band for each camshaft. With the car being about 2,600 pounds, look for a camshaft with a rpm range for the most power. Bigger is not better. Most of the time the motor is turning 1,500 to 4,000 rpms. Match a camshaft in this area. Also watch the tko 500 trans, if yours has all the updates, There will no problems with it. Your motor with a little work will push this trans to it's rate limits of 500/500. The torque number will be higher. Get ahold of Joe craine and let him port the intake and heads to match, than go 1 step higher than the camshaft you are looking at, BUT stay under the 5,000 rpm range. This will give you the nasty exhaust sound and still be drivible. advancing or retarding the camshaft will move the power band around also. Torque is better than HP.
