D dmcquillan Member Joined Feb 5, 2010 Feb 13, 2010 #23 Is a bigger cam necessary, or will porting the intake give me enough power?
C charlief1 RIP Charlie! Joined Sep 20, 2007 Feb 14, 2010 #24 The cam isn't needed but it will help quite a bit. Here's a link to a great cam but you'll need to do some mods to make sure there aren't any issues. Buick 231 3.8 3.8L Torque Cam Kit Lifters 1977-1987 : eBay Motors (item 200312032571 end time Feb-14-10 06:32:43 PST) Just opening up the intake will help a huge amount to increase flow but there are several other tricks. Wait until you get the engine out and I'll tell you more Darcy.
