I know there are lots of things that determin what cam duration, lift and centerline to use but would like to hear what you are running? And is your car dual purpose race/street or auto/4spd?

I use a solid flat tapped cam with 264 & 270 @ .050. Lift is .624 and .632 with my Hughes 1.6 rockers. Has a 110 LSA and I have it in with a 106 ICL. I really like it as it has the idle just right for me (just enough rump rump to sound nasty but idle fine) and it makes plenty of power. I know the car will go a bit faster as it ran so bad last time out I was surprised it went 11.0's. Oh its a 493 using a .030 over 440 block and a 440source 4.15 crank.

My build is similar to yours ; heavy B-body, pump gas compression and Big cubes (572ci) with auto trans and 4.10 gears. Dwayne built the engine and specced the cam which uses a custom Comp solid roller that specs out with 266/272 @ .050 and 110* Lsa. The valve lift is in the .660 range with 1.5 rockers. Idles fine @ 1000rpm in gear and makes killer torque (720ftlbs peak @ 4400) Ron 6848971-572-9.jpg (31 downloads)

But I see no point in posting my specs 'cuz your 528 Hemi and my 440 Wedgie are pretty far apart in terms of... well... everything, really.

It will keep the torque down low where it is usable on the street and the fact that I am not spinning it above 6000 rpm. I also only have 10.1 comp and was told that is a consideration in running a larger cam.
