You were using the .590 cam, so your running a different pulling class now that requires a max lift of .495 I dont know of any off the shelf cams that will do what you are looking for. But if you had more time [And you Had it!] since you been working on this for a month or so. You could of ordered yourself a custom cam. From your experience you probably know pretty much what you need. If it were me I would guess that you need a custom cam with a .3093 lobe lift when using a 1.6 rocker and around a 275* duration with and 108 to 110 LS mike Last edited by Sport440; 07/20/09 07:09 PM.

n_bogie1984 OP mopar Joined: May 2007 Posts: 430 New Hampshire	i have a mp .484 hyd camshaft, which switching to adj rockers i must change something. and if im going all out i should push the rules to the edge. and what i meant when i say the motor turns what it turns is, i hook onto a 15,000 lbs sled, put it in first gear and dump the clutch at 4,000 rpms and hold the gas on the floor, when the tach stops climbing it turned what it turned. of course im out of my power band but find me a cam that is .490 lift with that power band, it is all about the wheel speed in my application. hehe is a video i have posted befor on the application http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=50388356

Find the fattest flat tappet on the shelf and have the tops cut and ship it. It's quicker than cutting the whole cam. Try calling Jim at Racer Brown after 8pm Eastern. That's when he'll answer the phone. Great guy and great cams BTW.
