Anyone have experience with long ram manifolds? Specifically a good cam for a 440, or a good combo for strong street performance.
Here's what I am thinking so far. 440, with 10-1 compression, 440 Source aluminum heads, long ram intake tubes with two 500 cfm Edelbrock AVS2 carbs, block hugger headers, 4 speed, 3.55's in a 3900 lb car. These intakes are great for low-mid range torque, which is exactly what I want. I am leaning toward a hydraulic roller cam, and have heard great things about the Comp Cams XR274HR-10. It is a mild roller, and apparently makes huge torque at the low-mid range like I want. I am not building a drag racer, and have no intentions of high rpm use really. I want huge pulling power, passing power, and easy cruising down the highway at 60 mph. I am not a high speed driver, but love strong acceleration.
