Anyone run the Comp TL304 cam? #657622 04/01/10 01:22 AM 04/01/10 01:22 AM

Ported Edelbrock heads, Super Victor intake or maybe a tunnel ram. I have several cams sitting here that I've never used including this TL304. I don't even remember where it came from or why I have it. Looks like it should do the trick but I've never heard anyone talk about it before. 274/282 at 050 with 590 lift and 108 centers. Probably a real close cousin to the Mopar .590 cam?

Challenger. (so far) Only 1.43 60 ft. It will probably work pretty decent with 12:1 and 505" but, I'm no big block guy.

My 505 motor is a little more mild combo but has more inches. I think the TL304 will work okay in it, probaby be a little nasty at idle.

Andy.....Please don't fuel that fire. Keith has been calling it his "baby big block" already. It is faster than his 451" BB in the same car so, it must still be a SB.

Andy, I think that is the same cam I have in my 440 with standard port victor heads but if I remember right it has .590 intake and .609 exhaust lift. I run mine with 1.6 rockers though.
