12.5:1 CR
A429 Heads
Lift .200 .300 .400 .500 .600 .700
CFM@28" INT 152 237 293 358 367 374
CFM@28" EXH 117 161 200 224 244 257
4500 stall converter
Victor 460 intake plenum work done

3.91 gear ratio
C6 transmission

Re: New Camshaft?
NO ... a newer "design" camshaft might get you some more torque however, horsepower will be somewhat the same.
A smaller new cam could make the engine much more fun to drive on the street.
Make the heads better or get a new intake and a carb first if more power is your thinking.

as he says, that cam not bad enough to change, run it, work on other parts of the engine for now

Re: New Camshaft?
You think the intake manifold Victor 460 and the pro Systems 1050 are holding back power?
The manifold hes been modified from stock, and the Chuck Nuytten carb was set up by Patrick at Pro Systems.
Suggestions?

Thanks guys.
I will keep the camshaft. I suspect the part throttle stumbling and bumbling will be eliminated with the new carb set up.
