Hey guys!

Im  building a  302 chevy for a 260z. Im serving  in  iraq,  and buying  parts online. So  far a  have a  283 crank, 327 block, H-beams rods ($240 ebay steal) 302 pistons,  and 180cc  AFR  heads.

I am  undecided on the cam/intake

Single plane? roller cam? hydra cam?

My question is,  what contributes to fast rev's?

Im  planning  on  gettin a real good  balance job, with  an  aluminum flywheel and  driveshaft. I  read that  a  light valvetrain  helps  also,  like titanium valvelocks?

I know 302s are kinda  weak  in  the lower  RPMS,  which makes me want to  run  a single plane  intake,   but this will  be primarily drivin  on the  street,  and  i  dont want it to  be completely undrivable in  the  low rpms. I think  a  roller cam  would be nice,  but  they are  kinda  pricey,  and i  rear lots of valve adjustments.

I dont know of  anyone who still  builds anything lower  than a 350  now, so  its been  kind of hard to  get  info,  im  20,  and  most of  the  kids  my age  only thing ford made a 302.

Any ideas ?
