I’m doing a master rebuild on a 94 Blazer with a 350 TBI. The motor will be bored .30 over. Need to know what size cam would be smartest. Want that nice chop sound to it but don’t wanna do damage because it will be my daily driver. I was looking at a cam on summit racing, it’s basic operating range was 3,500-6,000. Any thoughts? Suggestions?

For a daily driver, there's no way I would want a cam that doesn't even start to.make power till 3k. Let's be honest, a street car will mostly see idle to maybe, maybe 4k, if you really drive the snot out of it.

Plus, it's a whole package. Are you running a high stall torque converter? What about your rear end gears?

Personally, I would get a cam that made low end torque. It's going to feel nicer around town, and seem faster off the line.

If it's just a weekend toy, and you run it at a drag strip often, maybe get the cam you were looking at

Forget the 3500-6000 rpm cam with TBI. Read this thread.
