OK here's the senario, I have a low miles rebuild 350 I removed from my car. It runs excellent but has a reg passenger car cam :noway: in it. I'm looking to upgrade the motor while I install a new gasket set to. This motor will be put into a future project. No high horse requirement just a nice crisp little motor, thinkin a 4sp car with 3.?? gears.

While shopping Summit cam kits I notice their recommend rpm is much lower for equivilent lift & duration compared to Cranes Blueprint cams??
For instance roughly the same lift & dur as chevys 350hp cam is rated at 2,000 to 4500 with Summit??

Anybody have any experience with Summits cams?
Or recommendations??

Was thinkin to order the K-1105 kit?
Any piston interferience with stock pistons?

Mid 70s 350ci engine & heads, edel intake, vette ramhorns

Not sure of the duration,but we put a single pattern Summit cam w/.488 lift into a 355 and it runs mid 13's with a 10" covertor,4.10 gears and no tuning other than the timing be set for 37* total. Motor is in a 1978 X body Ventura

I use a summit 224/234@.050 465/488 lift 114 LSA cam. It works good,no issues so far that I notice.

I think the power band is rated different because Summit rates em' where 2000-4500 rpms is the main range of the cam but not max rpm usage.

How performance oriented is your engine?
What would consider the max rpm range of that cam?
That's the exact cam I was thinkin?

I have used them and never had a problem with them. We used them in stock circle track class that had a .500 lift rule. They worked well and you cant beat the price.

the SUMK1105 is a great cam kit. I used it in a 406c.i. sbc a few years ago. Has a great sound and nice torque at the 1100-2800 rpm range with a dual plane intake, holley 750cfm dp, long tube headers, 3:73 gears in an auto trans 77 Corvette. Ran mid-high 12s in 1/4 when I occasionally hit the track.

My engine is weird and works differently than yours will because its got a supercharger on top. It mellows out the cam and it makes feel likes it gots loads of torque,I can't comment on it naturally aspirated what so ever because it was never ran N/A.

Blower changed the RPM range to idle-6000rpms.

K..just ordered the K1105 kit & a set of Edelbrock EDL-5802 valve springs :yes: Decent intake, decent exhaust, shim head gasket & I'm hoping it will run around 300hp or am I way of base with a 8.5 comp motor? :confused:
