Re: "Oaky" Farm Fresh '73 Short Step
I hope the cam works out for you! The 262XE, which is 218/224@.050, doesn't really start to make power until 3000 RPM in a 307. It pulled hard from there out, but still a meager 16.0 1/4. It was just too soft from a dead stop. Somewhere along the line I put in a 2800 RPM converter. At full throttle, that completely covered up the flat spot, but made the truck a real dog for normal driving, especially up hills. I never took it to the drags on that configuration unfortunately.
You're picking a smaller cam so I think you'll have better results.
