No actual experience with them but there's been several good reviews on here about em. I did use a custom circle track cam of his' & when the RPM got up on the cam it turned on like crazy & scared me. I just talked to Dave earlier today. I'd recommend his stuff, wouldn't be cheap tho but nothing good is (for the most part)

I have a 88-440 truck and waiting on the down time to swap the whiplash cam into the 440.
I swaped in the 318 whiplash roller cam for the magnum engine in the stock JY 91 pre-mag #302 headed 318.
sounds nasty and works in my 85 stepside. has a lot of lowend torque and great throttle responce. woke it right up.
I am in the middle of swaping a NV4500 5 speed into the stepside behind the whiplash roller 318 now.
then the 440 truck is up for a freshin up with a set of 452 heads/headers.
heck, just the edelbroke RPM intake/edelbroke q-jet woke the 78 lopo smogger 440 up in the 88 truck with a 727/3.91sg.
the whiplash may be a gimmick...but that gimmick sure works in a lopo mopar for a daily driver..I sure have more fun with less engine than most have with more engine on the street.
I have more use for a street engine than a race engine.
check out member Junky and his 383 whiplash.. he was real happy with his also.

yea, these cams are VERY gimmicky...  bone stock 5.9 Magnum. 2bbl M1 EFI intake edelbrock small tube headers and SCT tuner. add one 5.9 Whiplash cam (222°/228° @ .050, .544 lift, 107 LSA installed at 104) and suddenly I'm putting down 285 hp to the wheels (nearly 100 hp more than stock) with more HP left on the table...my stock TB was causing me to build up to 3" of manifold vacuum at WOT above 4,000 RPM. Truck was running 14.2 1/4 miles at 97-99 mph with traction limited 60' times of 2.2-2.3 With traction, that 4,000 lb street truck would have been into the 13s. not bad when bone stock it was lucky to run a 15.2 Gimmick or not, they flat out work for cheap "junkyard motors" that are still low compression, stock heads, etc.

There's no gimmick anything about these cams. Hughes just put a cool name on the stick.
I installed one in my 383 a year or two ago. I was very, very pleased with the performance of the came once I tuned the engine. Yeah, it has a nice lumpy sound. But, dude, it winds to 6000 RPM like there's no tomorrow. I mean for a 383 it gets with it! From a stop, no foot breaking, just mash the go peddle, it will blow the 275/60/15's off the back of my Coronet, hit 2nd and does a nice little wiggle due to tires spinning. I need stickier tires.
Hughes designed it to run in a stock to very mildly modified engine with no more than 9 to 1 compression in mind. My engine has had some head work and other goodies installed. They did an excellent job of designing it.
107 lobe separation, installed ceterline 102.
229 degrees intake and 242 degrees exhaust at 0.050" tappet lift.

Mine only pulls to 5300 or so. That was my only complaint. But Dwayne porter says that I was valve spring limited even though I was using the ones they spec'd for the cam. We'll see how it does with eddy aluminum heads. My shop is setting them up for 140 lbs seat pressure.

What stall speed convertor are you guys using with those cams?
I thought about buying one of those cams for my 383 but it's in front of a 1962 trans and the stock convertor doesn't have much of a stall to it.
I run a custom built 12" tight torque converter that will flash to 2500 RPM in 1st gear from a stop.
