Good torque cam

[Creeper]

Hey guys I'm new to the site I have a question about what would be the best torque cam and lifters kit for a SBC 350. A little engine info camel hump 202 64cc heads ,weihand stealth intake ,edelbrock 600cfm carb,hooker full length headers and average 165-175 psi in all cylinders not 100% what the cam is most power produced around 2500-3500 rpm and is quite choppy. recently swapped out turbo350 and 203 t-case to sm465 manual and 205 t-case but I want to step up torque quite a bit starting around 500 rpm thanks in Advance

You're going to have to pick one. Do you want your power band at 2500-3500 or you do you want to start at 500 rpm right off idle? Not going to be able to have both. If you're wanting choppy just for the sound, then you're likely going to want to choose 2500 on up.

The way I read it, the current powerband is up high and the goal is down low. Just pick a reputable brand and the cam at the top of the list (very mild) for SBC applications is what you will be looking for.

Crane 2020, P/N 114112
254/264, 194/204, .401"/.423" with 104 Lobe Separation Angle (LSA). Yes, 104.

I used this flat tappet cam after Crane recommend it for a Goodwrench 350 crate engine with Edelbrock Performer manifold, 600 CFM carb, and 3.08 axle with 29" tall tires. The 69 C10's mission was carrying two dirt bikes and pulling the occasional light trailer at high elevations, like 5000-7500 ft.

Gotta tell you the torque was brutal from off-idle to 3500 RPM. The truck once pulled a 5x8 U-Haul trailer full of heavy boxes up a 7500 ft pass at 70mph (prox 2500 RPM). It was simply amazing.

Disclaimer: The engine had somewhere around 8.0:1 compression, and I don't know what cranking pressure was. That cam closes the intake valve VERY early on the compression stroke, so makes crazy cylinder pressure. An alternative for higher compression would be the same duration with a 110 or 112 LSA.

Also, it would run out of steam at 4500 RPM, which was a trade-off I could live with since, hey, it was a truck! But a cam with the same duration and 110-112 LSA would probably pull up to 4800 RPM. In a nutshell, the wider LSA would give the engine a broader power band with some sacrifice of peak torque.

So, here's one with lifters, and it won't break the bank: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-k1101
