I have a 225 slant six in my 72 duster that I bought about a year ago. I've polished the head decked it 0.060" and done a competition valve grind. I upgraded from the single barrel to a super six setup. I've got a 7 1/4 rear end not sure of the ratio and an automatic tranny. The drive line is pretty much factory no mods. Any suggestions on a camshaft. I'm looking for a good street performance cam nothing really wild

A pretty good (mild) choice for a "one step-up" street performance set-up. I never liked the .022 & .022 lash settings on the Cranes, always seem to run these a bit tighter on the intakes. ( .016 to .018 )

Yep, I would barely call that #3 a performance cam. The #4 cam (228 deg @ 0.050") is pretty good, especially with a 2400 RPM or more stall converter or a stick. Idle is still smooth.
