Default HP500 cam question

Yes I'm new here. I have a 502 HP500 carbed, possibly a 95 (motor was not factory installed according to velocity). I want to upgrade the cam for some more power and a meaner sound, I tried emailing teague but he never returned the email. I was also wondering how much of a difference swapping in some 1.8's for the 1.7's makes and what is a good brand? Pros cons if any? Thanks in advance.

No more than a good off the shelf cam. He will taylor the cam to your setup. No one on any tech line knows half what he does.

I got mine out sort of that way. I have a storage locker right in front of the cam. I drilled a hole into the locker and retrieved it through the hatch in the floor.

You should pull the motor to change the cam unless you have lots of room in front. It is very important to degree a cam in properly, particularly in a marine (wet exhaust) evironment. This would be hard to do through a 2" hole. FWIW
