I'm buidling a 408(360)stroker with Edelbrock Alum. heads I have a .508 hyd cam for the motor now but was thinking about putting a .557 solid lift cam instead. The motor is going down in a 71 Demon that is basically going to be driven on the street only taken to the strip to see what it can run. Good idea or bad idea?
Thanks Brian
If it's not a roller I won't use it. I'm sure I'll get a lot of disagreement.

I had someone PM told me to try A D.C. .590 instead of a .557, do you guys think that would be to big for basically a street car?
In my opinion, a MP .590" cam is too radical and has too tight of a lobe separation (LSA) to be ideal in your setup. The .557" is close on the LSA but too small, I think you just ought to investigate a wider LSA (110-112deg.) for your stroker. I had a 110 with aggressive (short seat duration) lobes and mine was real forgiving. Maybe get with Lunati, CompCams, Engle or Bullet/Ultradyne and see what they recommend. I know people are gonna argue with this, but if you really intend to street drive this, even a big cam with a wider LSA is going to be more friendly... RB
