Reply to "Feeling uneasy about my camshaft selection."

Thanks for the reply,

Well, my main concern is having to get the heads machined to accept the new rockers. The only machinist near me willing to do it charges about $100 a head. I'm not certain if that is a good deal or not, but I am willing to do whatever is necessary to make the engine right.

I have expressed concerns about the Domninator intake, but it was on the car when we got it. My father is nostalgic for that intake as it was a popular item back in the day. I may be sacrificing 10 or 20 horsepower with the intake on the bottom end even though I am not sure how true that is.

Anyways, I've read a lot about the Cobra Jet Bullet camshaft on these forums. I had already purchased the Comp Cam before I even knew that cam or this site existed. It sounds like that profile may be a better fit as it seems there is no need to machine the heads.

However the 505 camshaft seems to be a good choice as well. I just feel overwhelmed with cam choices really, but if I can find a profile that doesn't require me to machine the heads but still makes better than stock power without sacrificing drive ability, then I'll just exchange the cam.

If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears. It just seems that most the things I know about Windsors really doesn't apply to Cleveland's.
