Re: Fw: 361 performance 1965 Coronet 500

[david rodgers <drodgers2003@xxxxxxxxx>]

I the car has an edelbrock carb probably about 650cfm and I am wondering what cam to do go with that would give me good low end torque and decent performance over a mid range.  I don't want a drag car but something that is performing a little better.  Thanks Dave
