Need help with camshaft selection! Street/strip
Alright so i just recently bought a 350 for my 91 rs. Some background on my setup and goals: I have a t5 transmission with a pro5.0 short shifter, i'm going to be running 305 heads, edelbrock performer intake manifold, Holley double pump 690, longtubes with catless 3 inch exhaust, the weight of the car will be slighty less than stock, i may put a 4th gen rear end in it (possibly with bigger gears), the car is not my daily driver its just going to be the weekend fun car and it will occasionaly see the drag strip just for fun, im really only hoping to be able to beat some 5.0's and let's be honest to have that nice lope. I don't know enough about camshafts to pick the right one for my needs so any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

Why are you choking a 350 with 305 heads? Bigger engines need more air to make power. You need heads with good volume runners. There's only a small handful of 305 head castings that are good enough to use on a 350.

Well the guy i bought the motor from already had the 305 heads on it, i've just heard about more compression with them don't know a whole lot about it honestly. If i should go another route that isn't too expensive please let me know!
