I would go with the edelbrock there is a longer power band.
Thats what i was thinking. I mean yeah, the lumpy idle i have now sounds cool and feels cool when it rocks the car. But i'd rather have a car that will run a good 1/4 and good at highway speeds..

The summit sum-k1102 and melling MTC-1 cams are the same as the edelbrock, and probably cheaper. its also known as a torque cam or RV cam, basically one step above the stock cam in a 350.
