A 230@.050 cam is a lot of duration for a heavy car with a 8.5-1 360 and a
3.08 axle. Been there, you will not like it. Not a happy combo on the street

i agree.it will really hurt torque. A cam like a Comp 268h would be ideal,,,,,
Again, this is what a cam grinder spec'd for me when I gave all the details and intended usage...
I really don't think it will be too bad, but I guess I will find out.
I ran an 8.5:1 360 years ago with a 230 at .050" cam, 4 speed, 4.10's and 3400lbs and that setup ran 12.30's all day long
I know the gear and weight are less than ideal right now, but this would be the 2nd 8.5cr build I have done where now 2 different cam grinders have recommended cams with similar duration, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and hope it works out.
