Reply to "Please define my engine's CAM Specs in lay terms for me."

You mention that this is a fine cam by 70s standards, and I have no complaints about the performance of this engine. It was built for me about thirty years ago but a Rick Stambaugh, of Stambaugh racing which still exists. He was a rather successful drag racer and good friend if a friend. At the time Rick asked me just how much go I wanted this car to have and how much I wanted to spend. I stopped well before the 'I want to blow everybodyies doors off' alternative, but settled for something like 'fast enough', and that it is. But I'm curious about the contemporary cams for the old 351C. How have they changed? What has to accompany them to improve performance in a civilized fashion? I know this is like asking how long is a string. But is there a lay explanation? What are you running in your car? How do you drive it? 

Thanks, Tom
