    I'm at a cross road where I'm considering changing the cam since the engine is out of the car. I'd like to hear your guy's opinions.

    The combination is pretty straight forward.
    .030 overbore 10:1 pistons, the pistons are sitting .030 below the deck.
    '70 Heads with Stage1 Valves, a little clean up of the bowls and smoothing of the valve guide boss. Measured 68cc chambers. Stamped Steel rockers.
    Shorty headers and an EFI SPX intake.
    TKO-600 manual trans and 3.70 gears. Cruises on the highway at 2300rpm.
    Car is a '77 X-body Skylark.

    I have the C118 cam, and once I went to EFI it wasn't lumpy anymore, so I'm looking for a bit more noticable idle. More power wouldn't hurt :Brow: but I don't even know what power it was making =P so it's subjective. I'd like to keep the same rocker arms, if I need to change springs, I will. This is pretty much a daily driver. I got 10k+ miles on it in the ten months it was on the road so I don't want to get to wild with the spring pressures.

    Thanks.
