Help me pick a cam

[Beekeeper]

69' bee with 440 4 speed. I currently have a edelbrock Torker 440 intake was on it when I got the car. Don't know much about the engine things like compression ratio and current cam
or head work. It runs strong for sure but this is mainly a street car and I want to change the intake to a dual plane like a rpm or one that's good for bottom and mid range and match the cam to it. It has a 800 Holley carb

The current compression ratio and if any head work was done is a BIG part of the choice as well as some missing information like:

Rear end gear ratio
Tire size?
What is your target cruise rpm?

800 cfm is a bit much imo. And as stated above, that info and more is needed. Look in comps Magnum and high energy lines, you could ballpark an option for you from there.

I'd look at Lunati VooDoo. As mentioned, some critical information is missing however.

Voodoo cams are damn nice too! Here's a vid of my brothers M Body with a voodoo in a warmed up small block, look closely and you'll see his 2 AHB cars (blue gran fury & silver diplomat) and my wannabe-AHB clone (red/maroon Diplomat)

That blue AHB turned mid-high 12s btw

I went with the Summit 6401. It has a lot of good ratings. Haven't fired it yet, I'll have to wait and see.
Here's an example...

3.91 gears and 295/50/15 tire

Check with a few cam manufacturers,give them your specs,ask here and you will get a dozen different suggestions.

When I bought my car Dec. 14 it had a very erratic cam. So much so that it was no fun to drive. I changed it in May of '15, but was a little unsure of what I wanted, even after studying up on camese. I could speak it better than I could understand it, so I called and spoke with a guy at Comp Cams. Told him what I had, what I didn't like about it and what I was looking for (driveability wise). He was very helpful, made a suggestion, which I went with and am very happy with.
