Hey Im new I have a 92 camaro 305 5 spd w/ 3.73s I just got word from my buddy that he wrecked his.Its not messed up that bad basically just the front clip and hood/quarter panel but the insurance company totalled it and i bought it back.It has a new 350 bored .060 over w/ 305 heads.The cam? seems pretty mild.The car runs ok but quit sluggish w/ his 2.73s.Im sure itll run a whole lot better in my car w/ my gears but i want it 2 run a little better than before.Just somthing to play around w/ on the weekend.ps im working w/ a stock tbi unit.any suggestions w/ the motor thanks

I'd have a look here;

http://www.powerandperformancenews....ory_Code=12-CAM

http://www.hi-performance.com/CHP/C...e/PG033-070.pdf

Seems that there's 3 cams to choose from,

the 260AHR cam is a direct drop in with no mods, but it's mild.

the 266AHR has a little more oomph but requires a chip.

the 270AHR has even more oomph but requires a chip and an ehxaust.

If you wanna call the comp cams helpline call 800-999-0853. The reason I suggest comp cams is because their bumpsticks are awesome. I put an extreme energy XE262H in my 86 GMC with a th350 and 3:08 gears and it went 16.2 at the track. I was very impressed.

Hope this helps.

Dump the heads and buy some good 350 heads depending on the year you can get some great heads for this motor.

If a main objective is to boost power, swap those wannabe heads with a set straight off the GM performance shelf. They sell for cheap these days and save plenty of weight while making more power. Of course, I've only read all that.

That appears to be a vortec head for a 350.

Go with that.
