I old call someone who actually GRINDS cams and ask them. Phone calls are cheap today. I'd call several and get a feel for the one you get along with best.
Cam Motion Racer Brown Jones cams Bullet cams Erson cams Howard's cams
That is just a few I can think of.
I did not suggest comp. That was on purpose.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

Custom cam 110 degree lobe centers, something like Intake 310@.020 280@.050 200@.200 .465 lobe lift
Exhaust 324@.020 288@.050 204@.200 .465 lobe lift
But those springs do not have the seat pressure to suit such a cam, put a suitable PAC spring on there set .050 from coil bind at max lift
That's basically where I'd be as well. Maybe a little more intake lobe lift if you're changing springs.

GTS340 Could I ask why you suggested a 110 lobe separation? Bracket car with a lot of stroke, wider lobe seperation will raise RPM where peak torque occurs and be less violent at the hit. Thats ASSuming that since its just a bracket car with big tires that the chassis isnt scienced out Additionally wider seperation lowers peak cylinder pressure which reduces chances of detonation

Thanks guys. After talking to a few people, I'm going to go with a comp. 23-709-9 That is a big boy cam. Comp recommends a lot more spring than what you have so you'll have to think about that.

Andy, what springs would you recommend. I had one engine builder say he would use pac 1245 springs. My engine builder checked my springs and seems to think they will work.

Ask about PAC 1226 springs. I suspect they might be a great fit for your cam.They are 275 @ 2.00, so with your cam they can be set at about 300 on the seat and be at about 1.950 installed height. They are a 1.625 double spring. This is the last place you want to try and save $$, it can cause you a lot of lost power and broken parts.

PAC-1226 is a 1.55" diameter spring, but is 275 seat as mentioned. I'm running basically the same spring, the PAC-1326 which is a PAC-1226 that has been prepped for "enhanced durability", but my cam is only mid 270's duration and 0.726" lift.
