for $30 extra dollars(plus shipping) I'll sell you a LC Engineering EFI Pro Cam that has about 40 miles on it.

I'll second that. I put the engnbldr 261c cam in after my rebuild. I am very happy with the results.

How is your idle after the engnbldr cam? I was told just about every cam makes your 22RE run like crap when idling... however they do give some extra power.

What is your experiences? I deffinitely don't want an idle that seems like its about to puke all the time.

I had to turn my idle up a bit. It seems to be best right around 800-1000 RPMs for me. Anything below 800 is a little rough.

I have the 268C torkr and it didn't effect my idle at all. Plus the added oomph is greatly appreciated.

Stay away from "re-grinds" (stock cams that have been re-profiled). If you purchase any aftermarket cam, buy one that has been machined from a new core, like those offered by LC Engineering.

People will argue this point all day long, but there is no way that you can remove lobe material from a stock cam and expect to gain more lift...just not physically possible...

That is actually incorrect. It is called back cutting a camshaft. What happens is you grind away a specific section of the unused part of the cam and readjust your valves to conform to clearance specification of the "closed" part of the cam lobe and you now have a camshaft that has a net gain in lift.

EB's cams are new stock from japan. i've got a 268c in my '79 truck, and it gives it some nice mid range punch
