Back when my buddy first started racing in Stock, and we were barely under the index....... finding our way........ on about the 5th cam, which was the worst one up to that point...... we thought, maybe we’re looking at the wrong area. Maybe the cam isn’t going to unleash any magic for us.
Since the one in the motor at that point was clearly the worst we had run so far(it was one of those that came from a cam grinder who was supposed to be “good with Pontiac’s”, based on a recommendation from another racer)........we decided to just stick the small UD solid lifter street/strip cam that was in the motor when it was still a street/strip car, and just see what happens.
Well, about 4 tenths and 5mph is what happened........ so we continued on our search for a better cheater cam when we saw how much difference the cam could make.

I basically agree with crabman here......... put a nice solid in it and run it.
