Hey everyone,...

Thanks again for all the help in the "Needs a power boost - 327" Forum. We have decided to go with an Edelbrock Carb and an New Performer RPM Airgap Manifold. We want to do the cam now also. I'll relist the specs of the car -- what I know... I called the last owner yesterday, and although I didn't do the compression test myself, YET, he said that the compression is 9.5:1.

Anyway,... I understand what the Cam does and how it works,... Infact I even have the means to install it. The problem is actually choosing a cam. With so many different manufactures and different styles I have no idea which one to choose. I'm also a little sketchy on the difference between Solid and Hydraulic. For a 327 Engine of this build,... WHATS THE RIGHT CAM. Keep in mind, the cars not driven every day but it is driven on the street. Something street strip is probably the best bet. Anyway,... your the experts.... WHATS THE RIGHT CAM? Thanks again for the help,

Dan
