THE X CAM OR STEEDA #19??

this will be in a stock 89 rebuilt short block with 1.90 Edelbrock heads and explorer gt40 intake, long tubes, AOD with shift kit and a 4000 stall and 4.10 gear. I have run the x cam in the setup before and loved it. Wat yall think?

X cam 224/224 .512 .512 @ 110
#19 220/226 .480 .480 @ 115

I will be 1.7s if i go with the Steeda.

Out of the two you mentioned, I would probably do the 'X'

F cam is .512 lift and X cam is .542.

Good catch, I wasn't paying that close of attention

I'd go a little on the small side, as you will love the grunt. I think an X-303 is a little too peaky in a 302...but that's just my "feel."

I vote steeda and rocker arms.. BUT I am not a engine builder at all.
