Hello so that was a very good looking old school ride i think you said you sold it.? wow i would have kept that car post a few more pics if you got them and more info i bet it got lots of looks even from the other guys that don't like us mopar guys.!

Did u ever rerun the dart with a good trans and see what time you got.?!

I don't personaly hate comp cams co.! I have ran alot of combos in my cars over the years and have found for me.!!! That a hdy cam set up is way more street friendly for what i use it for.!!

Are you still running the car in the picture.? And that set up or did you change it .??

68 barracuda
71 440
9.5 compression
4 speed
3.91 sure grip
509 purple
dual 4 tunnul ram with 625 carters
still getting it together , havent got a chance to get it to the strip , but sure love the way it pulls

70 gran coupe Barracuda with full interior and stuff

440 non rebuild short
purple 509 hydraulic
milled heads .060
Holley SP StreetDominator 440 intake idle-5500
Holley 850cfm
4000 rpm stall
4.10 gears suregrip
26" x 10" sticky tire

13 flat at 102mph

Needed more compression, gear , and stall.

I absolutely loved mine. I built it in 1984 by the Direct Connection book, but used Stage IV heads as well. 11:1 compression, 509 cam advanced 4 degrees, and a CH4B dual-plane intake with 850 DP Holley and 2" Hooker Super Comp headers. I never got to the track, but with 4.10 gears it would annihilate 275/60-15 BFG T/As through 3rd gear if the street wasn't perfectly clean. It's a 4-speed car and drove like a perfect kitten, even with a very light aluminum flywheel. Had 18" of vacuum at 900 RPM idle, too. <edit> um...maybe that was 14" lol.

When it comes to boards like this everyone recommends to only do it once the right way and its so cheap to buy this part you should do it based on that fact. Its like buying crap in bulk that goes stale before you ever eat it.

The adjustable valve train does open a pandora's box of spending, as stated above. On a 3000 or less budgeted engine, buying something needing an adjustable valve train adds another 500 bucks on top, and thats assuming you bought more expensive pistons with the right valve reliefs to allow more lift. And then you aren't getting much more because your 906 heads dont flow above .500 lift as previously stated. So you buy the stealth heads or eddys because they're only about 400-700 more than a valve job and new valves. And hopefully your aftermarket heads check out good and dont need cleaning up. You just turned a cheap 2500-3000 rebuild into a 4000+ rebuild. Sometimes its just easier to stick with what works if high 11s and low 12s are enough for you.

And a buddy of mine used the Comp 509 when his last 509 broke in half. Car idles pretty smooth and he said its must more street friendly, but pulls even a little bit harder up top. I think the Comp version would probably be a good cam to run, at least you can take advantage of some of the newer technology with the advantages of the old 509.

That is a sweet looking ride i like the old mopars the look is very unique.! Thanks So much.!

Its ok its still a mopar and i am very found of old school cars!.

Can't wait to hear what it runs.! no matter what it will still be a lot of fun to drive.!

Well i can tell you this my current set up has no problem running & running hard.! its not i don't have enough i could get 800hp with a few minor thing done in no time ** but i have made a choice to use a more mild street set up and get more use for what i want as far as a weekend play toy.!
** I had a very close friend that had a 70 cuda with a 950 hp stroker motor and hated it after he did it because there are limits to what u can & can't do that goes with everything.!
****
Like i have said before i am not hear to debate, to say my way is right and everone else is wrong i just like hearing what other have done with there cars by useing the mopar 292/509 cam if other like a different one then i say use it and enjoy.!

Hey the picture at the bottom of the page of the 67 dodge coronet was that yours or is it still your.? Nice looking car.!

I to like the 292/509 cam in my combos i have had in my cars for yrs. I see others like it and some say make a change well i am always very stand off with making alot of changes to a good combo that has a track record like the 292/509 cam i don't care who makes cams someone always gets a bad on from time to time. I say use what makes you happy.

Thanks for the reply what type car and how did it run could you give more details.!

It was a 67 satellite with a 440 bored .030 over stock rods KB pistons, 906 heads bigger valves and port work 440 torker II intake port matched and hooker headers,4:10 gears and 3800 stall it went 11:68 at 115 mph with the 292/509 cam. great street car.
