I think the second smallest Crane street roller would do what he wants it to do if it was still available, but it isn't. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/crn-699611#overview But in a nutshell I'd try taking about 10 degrees @ .050 from where you're currently at, and would have it ground on a 112 or possibly even 114 to make it as smooth as he seems to want. Want to hit the "easy" button? Call Porter racing heads at (802) 951-1955 and order up a custom grind. Ask Dwayne to pick it out and give him a credit card number, he'll have it drop shipped from the cam manufacturer.

I run this Crane Hyd roller HR-222/339-2S-12 IG in my Challenger. 9.0-1 comp (runs on 87 octane), 360, 4 speed, 3.55, 27" tire. Excellent power and driveabilty with good idle quality. LD 340 intake, 650 Holley, TT I headers and TTI 2 1/2" system, ported later 360 heads. It has been 12.79@109 with full exhaust and air cleaner in place using drag radial. Doug

He would prefer to migrate to a hydraulic roller cam over the flat tappet. He wants something that performs similar to a stock 340 cam, but thought the current cam was bit too lumpy for his preference.
Last time I looked at roller retrofitting a 340 it was a significant expense. Enough of an expense that a factory roller 360 Magnum starts to look like a better route.

I would 2nd that recommendation especially in light of the owner's feeling that the current cam is already a tad too hot, which I think is actually a pretty docile street cam, especially with that CR. Either way, a move to a wider LSA would probably help here, 112 at least.

on a flat tappet, I would have Bullet Grind you the old Ultradyne H3/H5 which is 217/221 @ .050" I would cut it on 109 and put it in at 105 ICL
It'll idle with the right 340 chop but be super responsive and have broad torque.
I don't like the Comp XE's on Mopars, I think they were designed for chevy's and the heavier mopar valvetrain just makes them really noisy. IMO
For HRs you can take ~10-12 of degrees off the .050 of a comparable FT and easily make the same or more power with better idle quality.
One issue with HR's on small mopars is the 59 degree lifter bank combined with a long HR lifter makes the "less than ideal pushrod geometry a bit worse. Solid roller bodys (except Morels that seem to use the same long body the HR's use) are generally shorter and lighter and I actually prefer SR's on smallblocks.
