I realize this is not the engine section, but I was wondering what some of you guys have run for cams in your 4 wheel drives? I have a 71 gmc with a 350 that I'm building and I've narrowed my cam choices down to either the Summit 1102 or the 1103. After researching a little, the 1103 seems to have a little bit of a lumpy idle which sounds awesome but throws the power curve a little higher. This truck will be just a driver and head turner for the most part however I will be plowing a couple driveways with it. Not a commercial plowtruck just my driveway, neighbors etc. Is the 1103 too much cam for this? Should I stick with a lower power curve of idle to 4,500 with no lope?
