Thanks Sam,
This is just what I was talking about. The cam is designed for a 360, not a
318. Until you get way up in the rpm band, you sacrifice a lot of power.
Whereas with a 360, the larger cid is going to get the advantage of more
overall power with this cam. Since this cam and engine are matched, there
won't be any vacuum problems.

I've got the HER1828AL cam in my 360, and I've had zero problems with it of
any kind, except when the battery has been disconnected it will idle like
crap for 100-200 miles, then I guess the computer figures it out then it
idles at 750 RPM's fine. I'm also running Mopar 1.6 rockers, computer, and
M1 2bbl intake, also mine is OBDI so that may be a factor.
