i rubbed a lobe off my cam today, and i need help picking a new one. it has to go in tomm so time is critical. i had a crane energizer, .454 lift 292 dur. the engine is a 388ci stroker, 10.2-1 compresion, 5.7" rods, ported iron heads, 1.6 roller rockers, edlebrock rpm intake and 750 performer carb, GM HEI, dynomax 1 1/5"-3" headers to dual 3" exhuast and flowmaster 40's. this is driven almost everyday so streetablity is very important but of course i would like a good lope and lots of power. thanks for your help, i am pulling out of fla on weds. headed for kansas so of course the timing couldn't be better.

what gears and tranny do you have?..any stall converter?

4-speed and 3.08's for now, as soon as i can find a 5 or 6 speed it will go in, and eventually nothing higher than 3.73's in the future

its real hard to pick one...im not a fan of that crane you had in there, but the 1.6 rockers might of helped it..what made that one go flat? how are your valve springs? the comp 280 magnum is a good choice. I wish I could help more but with out knowing what rpm range, how you plan on using it and valve springs..its tuff. call comp and crane, they're pretty helpful
