A few Cam questions...

[Dodge69_440]

Ok, I have enough money now to do the cam swap I have been needing to do.  First off, I am torn between the voodoo 60402 with .475"/.494"  advertised lift and 220/226 duartion @ .050" and the 60403 with .494"/.513" advertised lift and 226/234 duration @ .050".  I have a 360 .02 over with aerohead heads and 2.02 1.60 valves.  The pistons are around 9 to 1, but can check compression when I get home.  The cam is currently the mopar .508 lift cam, which is way too big.  Up top I have a rpm air gap and a holley 750.  It all runs thorugh a 904 w/ 2400 stall and 3.55 gears in the back.  I have some dented hooker comps and custom dual exhaust.  My question is, which cam will give me the most power.  I know now it is not always about slapping in the biggest cam possible.  Both will be driveable enough, just looking for numbers.
      Also, I built my engine as a short block, so I have never installed a cam.  If you guys have any general tips or pointers to installing the cam while the engine is in the car it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance for any help, can't wait to get back from college and get my hands dirty.

I would go with the smaller cam fr better street manners and increased bottom end power....especially with a smallblock in a heavy car with mild gears.

I believe the COMP CAMS web site has all the instructions for installing your cam and degreeing it in. Check it out..

Thanks guys, will go with the smaller one.  However, should I go even smaller or do you think the .475"/.494" will be enough?

The 220/226 Voodoo is perfect for that combo.....you'll luv it !
