Lift @ my 1.6 is .651 and .661 Duration @ 50 is 268 and 272. Any one run this cam on the strip? Hughes claims it's a maximun profile .904 cam. I wonder how it is on valve train parts?

Would you share info about your set up? or PM me if you like. Thanks again Its a mean cam--i dont know how high it will pull as Im setup for lower rpm this year. i cant get good weather or the car always has a gremlin the past 2 months....so i still dont know its potential. Follow Hughes break-in procedure for sure. I use Brad Penn oil with some Hughes additive 493 , 11.5:1 with standard port eddy Rpm heads 1.5 Harlands Isky 8005-A springs , 4K converter Ive been shifting around 5800 , i know that cam will pull much higher..its pulling through the 1/4 In a perfect world I will get to a track for Test-n-tune and it will be great weather and my bugs will be worked out-- the car definitely has 10.30's in it.
