Due to an out of the block slip up, I am in search of a new cam....don't ask please, I am not to happy with myself. anyway, the old cam was an 11yr old Ultradyne NF64 .620" 271 @ 50, I liked it in the 446". but now its going to 493" and it will have to breath to about 7000 rpm so maybe upgrading isnt so bad. I was happy with the Ultradyne, but I am wondering if the dual pattern hughes may have some advantages. I was thinking the Hughes cam # hug htl8087bs .633" .644" @1.5 280 287 @ 50, may be a good step up. what do you all think? 493" 1050, ported max wedge indy s/rs 1.5 ratio, 10.5 comp, converter will be sent to Lenny for new combo, 4.56 gears and a 3800 lb car, 29x11 tires. Thanks all

The Hughes Flat Taps that were done by Engle back in the 90's were all really good lobes, I ran a lot of them without complaint. Last edited by Streetwize; 09/07/10 10:49 AM.

If you go w/ a Hughes grind, I'd suggest no bigger than the 276/280 because of your low CR. No idea who actually grinds their flat-tappet cams after they stopped using Engle years ago, though.
