Look i know we all have our likes & dislikes that's ok ** But mopar made a great cam in the 292/509 its a great street cam and with the right heads headers & so on i have seen B-Bodies run mid 11 and still drive around town with full interior so lets hear what you have.!   So that is what i am planning on doing to my 1966 plymouth satellite. I have all the right things to make this car scream.! it now has a solid cam from comp i hate it.! ** SO TELL ME YOUR COMBOS WITH THIS 292/509 CAM IN A 440 MOTOR AND HOW IT RUN AT ITS BEST TIMES.! Here is a video of my car.! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLMuETuCen4

easy enough, although low low 12's are probably more like.
10:1 440, ported iron or Alum heads, RPM intake 850DP, Headers, good ingnition system, 3800 stall, good shifting trans and 4.10's should get you really close to 11's and still decent on the street. Advancing the cam can help get you some bottom end as well. Of course better heads, more compression, expensive convert, will help even more.
oh and I had a .030 over 383 11:1, ported 915 heads, 509 cam (straight up), Torker II 750DP, 1 7/8 headers, MSD, 3800 stall 4.56's in a 68 Dart ran 11.86 w/ a very bad trans.

girl down in Shreveport has a nice orange RR w air grabber hood, 440 six pack with the 509 in it, she was running mid 11s on slicks with it.
not sure the rest of the build though...compression, etc. but it was a stock stroke 440, 6pack motor.

My 68 Roadrunner had a 440 with 10 to 1 pistons 906 heads with 4 speed and a RPM intake with a Demon Carb and headers. It ran awesome  , I loved that set up  !!!!!!!!!!! Only problem I had was I wiped out a lobe on it  . I would build another just like it and plan on doing just that in a year or so  . Dave

Advance it 2-4 degree's makes a better idle and better low end
Yes install it at 103 and this cam really responds well (104 to 102)

Back in the late 70,s Direct Connection did a back to back test with a bracket car between the SSH-44 and the MP 509. The results were SSH-44 1.621 60ft. 11.95, 1/4 @ 115.18 MP 509 1.621 60ft. 11.82, 1/4 @ 116.61 I agree with you that the following MP cams were copies of the designs that Racer brown came up with. If my specs are correct the SSH-44 actually had less duration then the MP 509. Witch, would indeed make it a better street cam then the 509. As far as the 509 goes, it can be a screamer with the right combo, as well as some of the other MP grinds. mike

One other guy said the same thing about the racer brown cams. I looked at them and i am going to keep mine on track with the 292/509 mopar cam i am a die hard fan its always worked well for me.!
** side note.! this car of mine had a killer set up in it before i got the car but the owner before me took it out at the time i didn't understand why now i do ** he could could not build a wet dream!!!

I think that G/K cam is a "redline" series with I think 300* at .510 lift? They had a lot of profiles in that range. I use to sell General Kinetic stuff a long, long time ago. But I don't remember. Most, if not all, where 'chevy' profiles though. But they ran good in the day.

I know we have alot of modern cam profile out there with this & that and it make them have more power and so on. I just wonder what has happened to the old school racing tricks that have worked for a very long time some times i fell we have been overwhelemed with so many different cam designs and companys that just basic understanding will make it run hard and true that is way i am a die hard 292/509 mopar purple shaft cam guy with the right combo they run hard as hell and are very dependable on the street.!
** Now this is my way of thinking and its ok to want something different so i don't want anyone to take exception.!!

See that's what i am talkin about some old school car stuff. I really think at time we have forgotten those that made drag racing and have got all into these big teams and all there sponsor and so on its fun to go back to or early times and look at what they did.!
**
Ok i now some of you guys out there that have street cars had some really good engine combo's with the 292/509 cam and they where screamers and drove on a daily basis.!** Also if you are driving it now and have a picture put it on here how cool is that.!.**

A big reason many do not run the specicfic Mopar purple cams is that for awhile the quality was not there. Lobes wiping out during break in periods as well as non exixstent/rude and or non knowledgable tech service. I have had 2 Challengers 440s with the 509 cam. They both had 3000 stall converters and 4:10 gearing. Very powerfull. Being able to use/re use the stamped steel rocker arms ($$) has always been a mandate for me. For my future 360 build I have a new Engle mopar specific 230deg 514 lift cam under my bed.
Keep old mopars alive.

I do agree with you that is true quality was not good for a time but it's much better now.! the last ( 4 ) 292/509 i have used with my motor and friends motor have done very well also it also comes back to this country its seems there is no pride in making anything here anymore and that is very sad on the nations part.!
***
But like i said we all have our own choice at what Cam company we use and i say use what works for you as i will do the same i am and will always be a 292/509 mopar purple shaft cam user.!!

...Mostly street, I like to drive mine.. I took it to the track when I made changes to see how it'd do. Then basically left it alone for the next 2 yrs. Health was really bad during that time. The local chevy/ford boys were saying my heads were ported, "cause Chrysler's don't run that fast". I never thought high 7's was that fast. So I told them, I'll take the motor down & make it more stock 62 than it is right now & it'll be faster, (Max Weg heads, & Intake).
...When I took it apart, that's when I found the main's had been "walking" during those 300hp N20 shoots. Also that's how I found that the piston's were .100+ in the hole (~8.4:1cr), & that the 286 heads idea could use a little more compression. Then my health got a lot worse & wasn't able to get that back together.
...When I was able to do anything again, I had a low 6's, 2700lb,~700hp,pump gas street Idea that ran 5.99 on race gas.
...Sorry, not a clear pic, buddy took a pic & gave it to me back then.

i was always pleased with my .509 in my 3900lb. truck. best time was 11.69 @ 112mph on pump gas & through the mufflers on mickey thompson ET streets. bottom end was stock forged crank, LY rods, trw L2266 flat tops. IIRC, cam was installed straight up. motor had OOTB edelbrock heads, holley street dominator manifold, ancient holley 950 cfm 3 barrel, & CPPA/tti 2" a body headers. compression calculated out @ 9.5:1 with the 84cc heads.
truck had a 10" coan converter & turbo action manual VB.
8 3/4 w/4.10. & yes it was streetable.

I agree with the general consensus of this topic. The 484 & 509 MP cams can be made to run fast, reliabe & consistent. Maybe not FASTEST, but they're great proven bang for the buck.
Just my opinion, but some need to have the latest and greatest technology for whatever reason and that's ok.
Personally I've got about 4 long blocks, with all of them a 484 or 509 cam, waiting to go in a roller. Picked up the cams at swapmeets, some new, some slightly used.
The combo closest to dropping into my 69 Rr is......
.030 over 440
KB hypereutectics
.509 MP cam
516 bowl ported heads
2.08/1.74 valves
Holley SD intake
850 Holley DP
1&7/8" Hookers
3400 Coan converter
rev. man. valvebody
4.3 or 4.1 gear

Yeah, & the one on the 114 is a p*ssi cam, you want the one on the 108 & dial it in around 102, i've run this cam in 3 440s & even lined straight up they rocked.

Gee, thanks. I was just pointing out that there is more than one that fits the description in the title. I think they're BOTH p*ssi cams, they are hydraulic after all. And only 1/2" lift? what a joke.

If you really like this cam, I suggest you get a Racer Brown SSH 44. The MP 509 cam was a near copy or the SSH 44. Before there was Direct Connection or the later Mopar Performance the Mopar race bulletins recommended Racer Brown cams and many of the Purple shafts were in fact copies of Racer Brown designs. The advantage of getting the "real" 509 cam from Jim Dowell at Racer Brown is that he will custom tailor it to your combination. He will give you the LSA best suited to your car and also grind in the best advance for you. I've dealt with Jim in the past and have always gotten good service and sound advice.
The SSH-44 and its little brother the SSH-25 are both great cams.
Cam ADV, DUR-----lift-----.050 Dur
SSH-25 ---286------.485-----236
SSH-44----292------.510-----243 
MP-509----292------.509-----248
All of these Old school cams are great. Todays modern cams have nothing on them except a little extra lift.
Example: The 35 year old MP 509 248* duration cam has the following intake valve timing at a 104* ITC. Followed by a MODERN day cam from HUGHES with a 250* duration.
MP 509 Intake. open @ 20* BTDC, close @ 48* ABDC
Hughes, 5056---open @ 20* BTDC, close @ 50* ABDC
35 years later and we have nearly the Same exact timing events with a similer size modern cam,- the extra 2* of the 5056 250* duration @ .050
IMO, The tricky part of the cam Design was figured out YEARS ago. The above shows that IMO
Example; If you have 248* of intaske duration to play with, where do you put the valve events at BTDC and ABDC??
Open @ TDC, close @ 68* ABDC, OR
open @ 10* BTDC, close @ 58* ABDC, OR
open @ 20* BTDC, close @ 48* ABDC, OR
open @ 30* BTDC, close @ 38* ABDC.
And after 35 Plus years of Study, the answer is,??
The same as 35 years before!! . mike

That is great info.! So i will let other look at it and they can make up there own minds as to witch cam to use.
** But as i have said i like the 35 yr old mopar cam my choice.!
** look guys this is not a debate to see who knows more or who is better all i ask for was those that like the mopar 292/509 cam to post your combos and how well it worked for you so other may like to Try it out and if someone wants something different that's ok to.!

Being "old school" is not for all. You have to be cool with running at a certain level. Good for street/strip and bracket racing. Which is me. Knocking the "only 1/2" lift" is ok too. If you only run "old school" iron heads you know that the ports basically stall at over .500 (aka 1/2" lift). Yeah, we could debate that there's more "area under the curve" with more modern profiles and there's also the 1.6 ratio rockers to band-aid it too. Whatever, it's bang for the buck. "old schoolers" know that the adjustable valvetrain opens a Pandora's box of additional spending. Can you go faster any cheaper????? Probably not. Can you run more consistent, or even faster, than a guy with more modern technology but not dialed in???? It certainly happens. Here's my old school 69 Rr. It has sat there so long it's very embarrassing to mention it. BUT I finally started to get back to it in the last few months........... http://www.moparts.org/moparts/picture/mopar03/moparty/img/DCP_0479.JPGI'll be running some old narrow front runner Ansen slots, the big 11.75" discs and a 6 Barrel hood.

I don't have the Mopar brand cam, but I do have the Comp "nostalgia" or whatever series they call it, 292/299 .509/.509 cam in my Charger with all the "wrong" parts...
What I mean by wrong parts is a 3000-3200 stall and 3.55 gears.
I'm running closed chamber Edelbrock heads, 2" Super Comp headers, Torker I intake, 870 Holley, Crane Gold Race roller rockers, KB flat tops, zero decked block, etc etc. I am also using Rhoads Lifters, which supposedly take a little radicalness out of the cam.
Either way, with the 3.55's and the "lower" stall, this thing still hauls ass, it's not a slug like everyone says it would be with that combo. I'm running 295/50/15 tires on the rear and this thing lights them up with just a light stab at the gas pedal. I also did a 50-100mph run with a video and it made it in 6 seconds (no track around here to run it on). Either way, I don't race the car, just built it to enjoy it and have been happy with this cam.

Yes Sir i agree that we need to look at what we are building and try and get the most. Please i am not here to say ( old school is the only way i just think that we all have a level of money we can spend and so on so use it for what works best for you and your car and the items you have at hand.!)
I myself have up grades and i still would rather use a 292/509 mopar cam in my 448 cu in street car but that is me i wont everone to ues what they want but if you are like me and like the old school profile 292/509 cam i say use it.!
By the way nice RR send pics when done and back on the road thanks for the reply.!

Sorry for the late reply. It had template ported '72 452 heads on it. A couple of tricks for weight transfer; late K-member set the engine back 1-1/2", rear hole on the spring perch moved the rear foward an inch. Tires were M/T drag radials with SS springs. The cam was the new profile (2007). Board member on here has it. If I had a garage big enough, it would still be mine
Here's another pic.

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.
Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat

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.!

Look i am not here to debate you over your choices if that is what u like run it i like the mopar cams. someone else could say the same thing about comp cam, lunati cams, and so on i only started this post to see what type performance other got out of there 292/509 cams in there motors ** but if you or someone else likes the racer brown,comp cams, and so on i say use what you like not what someone tells you to use.!
You on commission Coronet?
You run whatever you want to run & don't let anyone tell you any different. .......................although i've gotta say the equivalant ultradyne would whip the 509s ass.

I ran 11.80s in my 4 speed Challenger with that cam in a VERY mild 440 with a bone stock bottom end and the car was never tweeked at the track so it had more in it. Engine was a 1966 440 with 40k original miles. Stock 516 heads were pulled and larger exhaust valves installed, quick home done smothing of the runners. Bottom end inspected and found to be in excellent condition so only a new oil pump, timing chain, .509 cam, lifters and correct valve springs installed. Old school Torker II single plane intake with Holley 750DP carb. electric fuel pump, stock electronic distrbutor with lighter springs and vacuum advance locked out with MP chrome box. Hooker 1 7/8" headers with Flowmasters at rear axle. MP standard HP clutch disc and pressure plate in front of a stock Hemi 4 speed. 4.10 rear end with ET Steet tires, SuperStock springs and a snubber. All steel street driven car with full interior, less glass T/A hood. I only took it to the track a few times and the wifegod told me I was getting air under the drivers' front tire off the line but I had an 8 3/4" rear end in the car which I eventually broke an axle in so I did fairly light launches and my 60 foot times were terrible, there was definitely more in that combo. Very happy with that cam. I've sinced swapped to a MP .528 soild cam and sixpack setup and it slowed the car down but made it more street friendly and this engine is going to be retired to my 71 R/T Challenger.. I have another aluminum headed 440 ready to go in the car and this one has the Racer Brown ST-21 cam in it with 1.6 rockers..we will see.

Ok fair enough well i have had ( 3 ) 440 with the 292/509 cam in them never did i have any problems or was it a dead horse it ran strong and hard some better than the other. 1. first one stock 906 heads with a torker II good running but could go faster need more gear & stall plus better heads.! 2. second one had ported 906 heads ran very strong it had 4:10 gears and a 3000 stall ran super hard but i know there was more. 3. third one had eddy heads mild port work and intake was a eddy rpm this time port matched with better headers 3500 stall it ran very very hard super torque and lots of power & 4:10 gears. ** My current motor is way more powerfull than any of those it is a solid lift cam with indy heads mild port work and so on. ** I just am not a big fan of soild lift cams i know i am going to hear it now but like i have said here it comes.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S WHAT I LIKE SO YOU HAVE IT ALL THIS POST WAS FOR IS TO SEE WHAT TYPE PERFORMANCE OTHER HAVE GOT WITH THERE MOTORS THAT HAVE THE 292/509 CAM IN THEM. I JUST THINK MY OTHER MOTORS WHERE MORE STREET FRIENDLY AND MORE USEABLE.!

HMMMMMM well it seem you have opened a can of you know what now everyone want to know why you like this cam over this one and so on man i just don't get why some can't let other make there own minds up.?? But i bet after you answer someone will not like it.!  
Something just got my attention on this thread , from what i can gather the OP likes the 509 due to the reliability & not having to bother messing with lash settings................well , i ran a 605" 68 charger on the street with a solid roller 288/294 , this motor was driven to the track , put through it's paces & driven the 130 miles back home , made over 10k street miles & probably still going strong (sold it) , had bundles of fun with this car on the street & not much would touch it when it hooked , just saying you don't need to run hyd cams for reliability............couple guys on this thread have asked why the OP does'nt like the cam he is running , the answer was he does'nt like the noise , correctly set up there should'nt be any 'noise' , just trying to help the OP out that's all.

Old school tech is really cool but the reason the newer cams are so much more popular is TQ and drivability for a given performance number. For example most of the fast cars with .509 cams are running 3000 stall converters and 4.10 or lower gears, the newer faster rate cams will run just as fast but can do it with 3.55 gears and 2500 converters. They will also get better MPG and idle better, if you want a crappy idle you just order it with a little tighter LSA and still get more TQ MPG and need less gears to run the same or better ET. I have used the .509 cam in motors I have built but the guy is running a 340 with 4.56 gears a tunnel ram and wants to turn 7000 RPM and does not care about a specific HP or ET he just wants a crappy idle and lots of RPM potential and a high rate of lift cam will make more power but not have the RPM potential, he just wants to see a high number on the tach with a hydro flat tappet cam

No one is trying to keep anyone from makeing up there own mind, only trying to provide information so people can make a more informed decision they will be happier with, peolpe like you are the ones keeping others in the stone age, if they want to be in the stone age that is fine as long as they know there is better stuff out there. I think a lot of people just like the mopar cams because they say mopar on the box, now if mopar started reboxing comp XE HL cams or Hughes engines cams then those same people who swear by the .509 .484 .557 cams would overnight take a likeing to the "new" mopar cams, they would hail them as great mopar developments, even icons just because it says mopar on the box, exactly like how the SCAT cranks bring so much more when they are in a mopar box instead of a SCAT box. Just because you chose a mopar boxed cam does not make your engine any stronger than an equal engine with a different cam, probably the opposite is true, if every one jumps on and says the mopar cam is the best cam ever and no one tells him the truth no matter how much he may get  for saying it, then we are not provideing him a usefull service and moparts should just shut down.

Man, you really are a jerk. Whats with the "All CAPS" deal? Are you too lazy to UNclick the caps lock or are you trying to OVEREMPHASIZE your blowhard style? Try using LESS crank. You will sleep better and come across as LESS of an acehole.
