Looking to make alot of power down low like 3000-6800. This is for a 340 sb with w2 econo heads. 4000 stall 10" at the moment untill next year.

Thanks for the replies so far guys! save the 200+ bucks for the hughes cam..and buy a race converter...car will be faster. look at the tq and hp averages through out your rpm range...very small differences.

I agree. Also head porting will get you the most horsepower gain, iirc your heads are barely touched.

I just have stock ductile iron rockers that have been pretty well used. Would like to step up to a 1.6 roller rocker. Those ductile iron rockers really aren't even suited for the .590 cam and deffiently not meant for anything even more radical!
