I am building a '95 360 Magnum for my '72 Charger. I am looking for 350-375 HP and around 400 lb/ft of torque. It will have the standard wears of an Air Gap, headers, KB .02" over pistons and so forth.
So I started out with four cam grinds as possibilites and I think I know which one I want. However, I'd like to know which one you think would give me what I want and that is a good performing street engine, good low end torque, a more agressive idle than stock, keep my factory torque converter or go to a very small stall (if necessary), maintain good vacuum, run smooth on road trips and be a great cruiser.

Here are the choices: (Of course this is a Hyd. roller)
1. .480/.480 lift, 212/218 dur. @ .05", 1000-5000 rpm, CL 110
2. .506/.506 lift, 216/224 dur. @ .05", 1200-5400 rpm, CL 110
3. .535/.531 lift, 218/224 dur. @ .05", 1400-5500 rpm, CL 106
4. .538/.534 lift, 224/230 dur. @ .05", 1200-5400 rpm, CL 106

Thanks

Are you going with the magnum heads? If so, than any cam higher than #1 will probably have to have the guides cut. I was going to pick #2 but the duration seems a bit wide between intake and exhaust if going with some good flowing heads. I am not an engine builder so take my opinion how you want. If I am wrong either someone will say so or they will tell you the best one.

Unless the heads check out bad the original reworked heads will go back on. No bowl work or flow work.
