Just did a 496 - Dwayne's Comp flat tapper cam, hand ported Stealths, 10.4:1. Currently runs headers, 950 Holley, and power brakes. Makes 480/480 to the tires on pump unleaded, runs 3.23s with a 2500 convertor, gets 13mpg, and idles at 15" of vacuum.
You really think a 496 will feel soft? Honestly? I think you're nuts...lol
That sounds pretty much what I'm shooting for..what kind of duration/LSA on the custom FT cam?? I was hoping for 12"hg+, so I could have a choppy idle. Like I stated earlier, I ran the "famous" .528" MoPar cam in a 360 SB and had 15"hg and a noticeable but too smooth for me idle. Hehe
