Good afternoon guys, I usually hang out on the other forums, but I had a question that was best suited for ya'll. My old race buddy called me and ask me what cam he should run in his motor. It has been so many years since I have played in that arena that I am not up to date. He wants a hydralic roller for "street" use. He is what I know about the set up.

Its a 73 Challenger

Engine
440 30 over
906 heads seriously ported by Bob Stape (I use to use these to run 10s in various bodies)
496 stroker stroke
BME rods
10.5-11 Ross pistons
Trantula intake w/ a dominator flange grafted in and flowed and ported by Bob
and a BG Dominator 1150 or 1350

Trans
727
manual reverse Cheetah VB
low first gear and "hemi" drums
3500 stall

Rear is a 8.75 w/ 391s

Suspansion
SS springs
Frame connectors
Stock front end with fresh poly bushings.

His purpose is to have a nice cruiser that will not run hot and can takes 100 mile (distant not per hour) drives and of course go as face as humanly possible.

So what would you suggest-specs and name brand

Thanks in advance, Kevin

No suggestion???? on the cam that is.

I would suggest a call to Scott Brown of Straightline Performance, and ask him.

Someone here will have his contact info.

Good Luck

Dwayne Porter at Porter Racing Heads would also be a great person to call. He will be able to set you up with the right cam! His username is fast68plymouth here on the board.

Good Luck with it!

X2 on Dwayne; I haven't used his services, but his reputation is A-#1. I've talked to him on the phone and he seems as good a guy as everyone says.

Other options (as if you needed 'em) would be Mike Jones, or Harold who designed a bunch of the older Ultradyne stuff ( brookshire@panola.com) who are both real active on the speedtalk forum.

I'd expect any of these guys could get you where you want to go.

Thanks guys, I'll follow up with these folks and try to post their responses.
