It builds lots of torque in my 340. I haven't wound my current motor past 5000, but I had this cam in a 340 years ago and it was great to 6500.

Md	I ran one in a stock 340 Dart with that cam and it had headers along with an Eddy dual plane intake that looked like an aluminum stock intake and a 650 DP. It was a 318 car and I dropped this 340 in for my girlfriend as it was her car. Left the stock 904 and converter from the 318 eng in the car. It drove real nice and had great low end. And it pulled nice up top for what it was. I ran 13.49 @ 105 on street tires and I mean street tires from 1980 as it would not hook at all. I feel sure with the 105 mph it would have run 12's with slicks and that was capped up. I liked the cam alot. Ron

For same cam I got divided opinions to a 400, taking in mind I will raise compression with pistons, but then it looks good mounted on a SB, with less displacement and stroke, and no more engine build specs posted I simply don't get it.

Loved that hemigrind. Ran one in a 340 in a 4x4 W150 in the mid '80s, all the usual mods (LD340 Headers, 440AVS, good X heads etc) , was faster than the basically stock 440 (HP manifolds, TRW's, Torker, 750 Holley, factory HP cam) that came after the 340 broke the steel crank. Strong midrange torque in the truck, choppy idle, low vacuum. It was a mean cam.

I run about 18 degrees of inital timing and it has great manners for the street.Sounds great at idle. Have no idea about milage. I drove my 340 all over the west this past summer with that cam including to the top of Pikes Peak and in the desert heat of Reno Nv. Car ran great everywhere. I've had this same cam now in three different motors, it's out lasted the motors.

can.al OP pro stock C Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 1,274 Ontario.Canada	..you're not going to believe this but i found the paperwork for that build(2004) and that is the cam we used not the .484 i remember the Dart running very strong initially and when i changed to the 3.23's and started fouling plugs i couldn't get it to run right. as you know i spent all my time on that Duster for the last 3 years,and now that it's finished am back to the Dart. with these responses it's definately not the cam but the engine tuner...oops did i say that out loud? oh yah....stock rockers and pushrods with the .474..........al
