Your stock cam if it’s a 4 bbl motor only has a advertised intake duration of 269 with a exh of 277.
Lift is .388”/ 424” respectively.

Compare these numbers to the 2800 and you will see that the 2800 is a good amount bigger then your stock cam!

Picking a cam for its idle tone will leave you very unhappy!
A Pontiac 350 has a lot longer stroke then a Chevy 350 and as such makes a bunch more torque which is more fun on the street then Hp when you have a car with only 3.08 rear gears.

Don’t cam the motor to defeat what it has going for it!
