cam question
i'm building a 350 4 bolt smallblock, running an edelbrock rpm intake, 600 cfm 4 barrel and MSD distributor, plug wires and plugs, and headers; looking for opinions on a good cam that has a mild to rough idle, its going in a 5 speed vehicle so i don't have to worry about torque converters

Anything will work. That carb is kinda small. Must be a street car. Depends on weight and gearing. For a street car maybe .450-.485 lift and 280-284 (advertised) duration. 105 overlap.

I ran a trw tp112 284/453 in a chevelle 283 with 456 gears and a 4 speed. it had 327 heads and a 780 holley. It screamed from idle to 6000. Would work good with your combination.
