Opinions on 370 build
Anyone want to throw out some cam specs for a solid street 370 build?
I figure around 10 to 1 compression with 317 heads and long tube headers. Nothing all that much. Just strong from idle to around 5200 or so.
I was thinking around 210 @ .050 with .530 to .550 lift. Not sure.
Want to keep the engine on 87 octane.

It's plenty strong for me.

The LS heads are so good in stock form that you really want to rev it beyond 5200 RPM. As mentioned before you are not dealing with a standard small block chevy here...
Hell a tuned stock cam will often be revved to about 6k. If it were mine and it was a true torque build I would be looking at at least 6k RPM shift points.
216/220 112+3 with 550 lift. Id use GMPP LS9 springs.

I dont need any of that. Im not trying to out run stuff.
I already have .030 pistons that will give 10 to 1.
I just need to get cam that do what I want. Run the fuel that I want. I can try and get a tight quench and the right head gasket to bleed off the pressure and run 87 octane.
Thats all I need.
