Looking for Recommendations on Cam for my 410

currently Cam is a COmp XE275HL 231/237 @ .050", .525"/.525

Street and strip built by RyanJ for his B-body auto. I have been running it in my 70 Duster stick car, manual brakes the last 6 season. Its a 410 with 9.7:1 Stage 2 Eddy heads . Just looking for the cam that will give me peak performance for my application being lighter car, 4 speed,and streetability in mind. Best is 7.49 @ 93 mph in the 1/8 through mufflers. Looking for a little more.

Call Hughes Engines.


Love my flat tappet

This oughta be good!

I had the same comp 275hl cam in my 408. When a lifter went bad I swapped in a MP .557" solid cam. The comp stick definitely had gobs more torque on the bottom but ran out of steam earlier. The car is easier to start and drive with the overlap delivering a softer bottom.

I have a cast crank and unported eddys so I'm not looking for more than 450hp at the crank. I think you'll have a better match head flow and shortblock wise with a bigger cam compared to my setup. A lot of folks here will recommend the ultradyne and custom grinds. As funny as it sounds I like the low maintainance of the solid- Im used to running the valves from years of messing with slant sixes. Also my solid purpleshaft has less noise than the comp hydro! I think it's the valves slamming shut that make the comp high lift hft cams so noisy.

I was curious how the 285hl or 295hl comp cam would run but the .557 didnt keep building hp past 5500 on the chassis dyno so like I said Im probably limited by my ootb heads.

Good luck and post up what you end up doing

I run a small solid roller in my 410 stroker, comp XR286R...good street manners with GOBS of torque. My engine has 1 more point compression (and I run a 727 trans), but the rest is the same. In street trim it runs 6.8's @ 99mph in the 1/8 (low 6.9's @ 98.5mph on hot summer days).

This is what I use alot in similar apps...245-251 @.050, 107lca straight up. Lift is around 560 with 1.5 rockers but I'd recommend more ratio.
