Wow I never saw that article, a 275HFT is what like 230/236 @.050? Hardly Near Stock @ 050.

What was the 440 Mag cam ? 268/284 Advertised and .450/.458 lift? (so maybe 210/216 @.050? Anybody know for sure? I always wanted to know. I know it's not the .85 of Advertised they claim for Purple shafts)

That really pretty great torque for that small a cam with a nice head and intake. Still I think 370# over the nose is a lot to ask for about any Hydraulic Flat Tappet, I'll bet it was already in partial collapse at anything over about 5200, but that was perfect for the Solid. With a more modest 320-ish Spring I blet the difference wouldn't be all that much.

Unusual to see super high CR with that short of valve timing. But still it shows a big port / small cam gives you a way better torque curve/Average VE and hight HP potential than a lot of people realize
