Once I get a motor (looking at a rebuilt at the moment). What is a good streetable cam?? At the moment I'm looking at the B303 or E303.

Any other brands you would suggest, like crower, or magnum cam.

I would like a little chop on the idle but still ba able to pass smog. If this was to be used in my 66 Chevelle I would go with an all out radical cam but this is for my daily driver, so it need to be streetable, similar/decent gas mileage over stock.

I'm new to the EFI stuff so I am a bit over whelmed vs a carbed motor.

Thanks

Rich

X-cam retarded 6 degrees with 1.7 rockers. You will pass the sniffer, the power will be amazing, and you'll love the sound [patriot]

What is the rest of your combo?

I'd say that the "X-cam retarded 6 degrees with 1.7 rockers" isn't the best cam combo for every car out there.
