Looking to give my 350 a little more power, not looking for crazy prostreet power but just a little more than what I have. I have a stock rebuilt 350 with edelbrock carb and intake. I'm thinking mild cam and headers...as far as the cam, what are your suggestions??also any other budget friendly things I can do?

Get rid of the Eddy carb and put a Holley on it. It’s more tuner friendly.

Ok, that's fine. I'm not up for a nitrous debate. Just don't try to tell me I can't run a mechanical roller cam in my daily driver.... Lol

Lol. Hey, I've never run it. Let me know how it works out for you! I'd start around 250, and work my way down....

Don't worry about the extra fuel supply. It will run faster without it...

Lol I’ll just divert fuel from my return line into a fuel solenoid.

You know actually, that's a great idea. Why dual pump it if you have the flow from one....

Why not a 4779?
That's a double pumper, that's nothing but a gas guzzler on the street with a dual plane intake, all you do is dump fuel into the intake and won't be used, be different with a single plane intake and high rpm's then you need a double pumper...
