I would appreciate some info from you guys knowlegable about the mysteries of cam specs.
I have a Summit Racing Cam # 3602
SPECS:
* Advertised duration: 292 intake/302 exhaust
* Duration at .050 in. cam lift: 234 intake/244 exhaust
* Gross valve lift: .520 in. intake/.544 in. exhaust
* Lobe separation: 114 degrees
* RPM range: 3,400 to 6,800
Today a mechanic told me that it wasn't a very big/radical cam for the street and that I can and should go bigger! I'm kinda a dim bulb when it comes to cams, but it seems to me that others in the know have thought if anything I was over cammed. Now the guy talking to me has a Lightning engine in his 91LX, so we'll just assume he's into radical. But realistically what is your read about this cam?
Without posting the entire boring sig:
Twisted Wedge Heads
Edelbrock PERFORMER RPM intake
JE 9.5 to 1 forged pistons.
Holley 750
MSD ignition complete
Tri Y Headers
World Class t-5 5 speed.
and the basic stuff
