Cam question Lopo 440 - 11/26/19 12:08 AM
Have a 77 440 that I’d like to cam. Been trying to read a lot here and other places and seem to find that the Hughes whiplash and comp xe262 are being used as a compression crutch. Maybe down the road I’ll pull the pistons and get something better but for now it’s a cam. The constants are a 3400 lbs car, auto, 3.23 gear. Right now it’s a stock bottom 440, ch4b intake, heads are 452’s but looking for some that flow better, and a 750 Holley. Stock 68 trans and converter. 3.23 Detroit locker with 27” tires.
Anyone used either one or have something better that they’re using? Also, this is just a cruiser so I’d rather not have it have to run in the upper rpms just more torque.
