I had a Comp solid flat cam with Comp lifters and I believe I have a few lobes or lifters gone. I am going with the EDM lifters and I still haven't decided on a cam yet. Anyone have any real world experience with the Howard's lifters? Thanks Gus 64 Plymouth Savoy 493 Indy EZ's by Nick at Compu-Flow 5-Speed Richmond faceplate Liberty box Dana 60

I did replace the lifters when switching cams though. I followed the valve lash to the cam card and everything has been great. I do add a bottle of the Comp Cams break in supplement at each oil change though.

I had the intake off a couple months back, the wear looks normal. I am running this cam in at 102. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/hrs-720152-08/overview/ The EDM holes are .016, still holds around 40 PSI hot at 1000 rpm idle. I was told the holes might bleed off oil pressure, but there's plenty. Your car (which is way cool BTW) would probably like this cam more than my 4000 lb car with 3.54 gears. EDIT a couple thousand miles and a bunch of pulls. Advancing the cam 2 degrees made a noticeable difference on my deal. Last edited by 65Fury440; 06/22/18 11:29 PM.

That cam sounds like a good choice for my engine and with a 4.10 gear and 4-speed it would probably go real nice. I was looking at a Lunati Voodoo cam https://www.summitracing.com/oh/parts/lun-30230743/overview/?retaillocation=oh I think the cam you listed might be a better choice with my Indy head stroker Gus 64 Plymouth Savoy 493 Indy EZ's by Nick at Compu-Flow 5-Speed Richmond faceplate Liberty box Dana 60

They have been in my eng since June 2011 when I first fired it up. And they are still going strong as I just had my 63 out today and she is running as good as ever. Ron

Comp 0.550 solid cam. AMSOIL Z-Rod 10W-30 Oil. Broken in on single springs and added the inners later. No issues - knock wood! I figure that the EDM lifter face is just a little extra insurance against flattening a lobe or two. 1972 Pro-Street 'Cuda, 500" Eagle stoker B Block, Eddy RPM heads, Victor Manifold, 850 Mighty Demon, Hemi 4 Speed, Dana 60 w/4.88 gears - Built by Hansen Racing Middlesex - NJ

I figure that the EDM lifter face is just a little extra insurance against flattening a lobe or two. I did the same and broke my cam in on just the outer springs. My cam is .585 & .592 lift with 264 & 270 @ .050. Ron
