Cam recommendations

[pearidge]

Hi haven't posted in a while but read posts almost daily. Long story short I am building a new buggy. Berrien nostalgia irs ball joint street car.I have a citation I have been driving for several years with a dual port 1600 with the dreaded dual glass packs and a progressive. I know alot of people don't like them but I don't mind them.on to the new project I am building a thick wall 1835 stock heads and crank.what have you all had good luck with for a cam.I know there are compromises just loked for good sound and not losing to much low end. Needless to say not going to run to many rpm either

I forgot, going to run a trimill 4 into one glasspack and 34 webers

Sorry, no recommendation. I think we used to ride atv's at pearidge 30+ years ago. Before kids and grandkids.South of woodland lakes near a train crossing?

OP, you would have better luck in the engine/trans section. There are a crowd of experts there who would be glad to help, if you don't mind a wide variety of suggestions to select from. Good luck!

Engle W-100, or FK-41 would be the most I would run with stock heads

Stock cam & straight cut gears - there's your noise.

If you're keeping the stock Solex carb I'd suggest an Engle W-90 or a CB 2280. If you run dual carbs then the W-100.

Been away from computer a while. I will be running dual 34s and a trim-mill 4 into 1 with glass pack

I put over 40,000 miles on a W-100 cam with stock rockers and some 1.25:1 chinese rockers that measured out at 1.37:1 and it was a great cam on my 1679cc engine.
It was turboed and the torque peak was around 4600 rpm and peak power was at 4850 rpm.
I had no complaints about it and after pulling it out it was in perfect shape along with the lifters.....I replaced it because everyone said it couldn't handle over 1.25 rockers. I did put 5000 miles on it with the 1.37 rockers and it showed no issues so I could have left it but I moved on to a FK-42 for a little more duration trying to move the peak power up a little and hopefully gain more max hp.

I thought it was a great cam if you don't want to rev the crap out of your engine. I had my rev limiter set at 5700 rpm and it could get there quite easily with the turbo at 22 plus lbs. boost.
