Thanks for the inputs guys. It is interesting to see real world results, to see kinda what happens at various cam configurations, headflow vs cubes, etc.
What originally got me to thinking up this post is wondering where is the best range to build the most torque per cube, and what effects it all. Stuff like induction ram tuning, exhaust tuning, rpm, etc. I was looking over the engine masters article in Mopar muscle ,got a lot out of that.
The winner almost beat the roller cam entrys in torque production with a flat tappet cam and a tunnelram setup. The flat tappet motors didn't make as much hp, but as shown by the winner, built some very respctable torque. The winner was making 1.204 ft lbs per cube, the best roller combo 1.24. The differance in combos, the flat tappet combo had the tr intake and 452 cubes, the roller combo had more cubes (500), single/dominator combo.
