Difficult for me to find a performance cam with good vacuum for the high Colorado altitude. This one does nicely. Used the truck to pull my sons '56 Gasser to Kansas and then got to play with it at a 1000foot altitude on the streets of Great Bend. Couldn't believe the power for such a mild 350!

I would definitely change the cam, you are not going to like how the current cam works nor will you like the gas mileage. the XE262H-10 is a great recommendation for a cam. This cam and lifters are pretty good value and along with your new timing chain and gears you will be set. Here is more info on this cam http://www.compcams.com/v002/Pages/387/XE262H-10.aspx
