good torque cam
hey again, i currently have a 327/350hp cam in my '73 sbc 400, its in a 76 el camino. it also has full length headers, performer intake, and 4 barrel q-jet. does anyone know the specs for this cam and what would be a better cam to make some serious torque? i've been looking at a comp cams 268h that is 218 duration and .454 lift, would this be good?

according to my source the HP hyd. cams that came in 327s is 221/221 @.050 .447.447. the 268H is a good grind.
What gears are in the car? automatic ?stall convertor ? is the bttom end of the 400 stock? stock heads ?

the rear end is somewhere around 2.80ish-3.23 open, but im definetly going to drop it to a good 3.73 posi. its got a th350c trans, no stall, the heads are stock but i have another set of stock heads that have been ported and polished with a multi-angle valve job that im going to put on when i change the cam. mostly i want to make good torque, be quick, and be responsive.

The comp 268 will make a lot more torque than the 350 h.p. 327 cam. The comp 268 has tighter lobe seperation. That makes as much difference as the difference in duration between the two cams.

do you know if the 268 has a choppy or rough idle? the 327 has a slight lope to it, nothing fancy. i want the performance but also want the sound. if you've heard this cam how does it sound?
