I need a more appropriate cam for my 351

Engine specs:

1994 351W roller truck block (E4TE) bored .030" over
ProComp aluminum heads, 210cc runners
2.05/1.60 valves - 1.6 roller rockers
9.0:1 compression

The truck came with a Trick Flow Stage 2 hydraulic roller cam
SAE duration @.006" 286/294 Duration @ .050" 224/232
Lift @ valve w/ 1.6 rockers: 542/563 Lobe seperation 112°

With the current cam, the low end torque is sad at best. The advertised power band is 2600-6200rpm. I would like something with a powerband more like 1200-5000 rpm, with peak torque 2000-2400rpm. I found this cam which seems like it would fit the bill.

CompCams 35-510-8 Grind Number:XE258HR
SAE duration @.006" 258/266 Duration @ .050" 208/216
Lift .533/.544 Lobe lift .334/.341 Lobe seperation: 112°
Power Range: 1300 to 5300

I'm curious what you guys are using. Viper?

That's a little smaller than what I'm using.

Here is a desktop dyno snapshot with my engine. I have GT40 heads now but you can see the benefit of going to better heads like the AFR165s.351w dyno.jpg

I'm a little surprised that there's no real difference between the heads below 3500 rpm. Equally surprised at the size of the difference above that point.

That is great information and exactly the feedback I was looking for! Thanks!

Those cams are similar with the Comp Cams having less duration, but more lift. That chart makes a good argument for aftermarket heads and gives me hope of making near 450 lb-ft with my heads.

Those heads are a little large. You want a smaller runner to keep the velocity up for better throttle response and torque. Just another thing to keep in mind. Those heads would be good on a 408/427......

google desktop dyno 2000. there is a free download that will let you plug in all your numbers and play around.

A 460 will fit in an early Bronco, at least as well as a Coyote.

Thanks everyone for your input. I got to drive the truck today with the new cam and it is so butter-smooth, I LOVE IT. Still has the same seat-of-the-pants power it did before, but now it idles @600 and can pull down to ~300rpm. I'm so much more happy with this setup. The exhaust doesn't smell so "fuelly" anymore, the transmission doesn't sound like a bag of marbles at idle and even 75mph highway cruising is more quiet.
