Or would it be better to custom order for my applications?
Hi Jay ... There numerous sources of camshafts. The camshaft best for you depends upon your vehicle, what you are wanting from your vehicle, and on how much you can afford to spend. I am so sorry I cannot be more helpful with this question.
1. Crane did not go out of business although they were on shaky ground a year and a half ago. A group of private investors and corporations baled them out. Howard's, Crower Comp are all pretty equal. Your car has roller hydraulic lifters so you'd better know what you're buying. Your missing some Chevrolet factory roller lifters and roller cam grinds. I see you haven't purchased the 2010 GM Performance Parts Catalog from your Chevrolet dealer parts counter yet. It's loaded with mild to wild hydraulic roller small block cams. You haven't figured it out yeat have you? A cam switch isn't going to make that 305 run worth a hill of beans. You need a set of cylinder heads to alow it to breathe first. Remember the EQ 3045A vortec performance heads for your 305? The valves ports are bigger and shaped for higher velosity. You're so stubborn I know you'll buy a cam first and whine like hell cause the car won't run any better. You'd better give this project a lot of thought because you're stuck with the stock intake and fuel/air mixer. Lower rear end gears such as 3.42's or 3.73's will wake the car up. Do that first and see if you want to spend any more money on it.
Crane was good before they went out of biz. Howards Lunati Crower Reed cams was great before going out of biz. Comp does alot of custom grinds but I never been a big fan of comp. Core Hardness probs in past
