Still makes no sense to me. That was the right cam for a street 440. Not for the Hemi.
When the 440 in this test hit is limit, the obstruction was the heads. But it was actually a very well matched combo. What is the the one thing that sets the Hemi apart? The heads. But the heads weren't tested in this test, the cam was a bottleneck that didn't let
them breath. The heads and the intake are both capable of delivering way more, so it was a very mismatched package.
thats the first thing i thought, how do you have the same cam profile for a 440 and a hemi, if it were a good cam for the hemi it would have not been for the 440, i think they said the compression was about a half point lower for the hemi which did not help it, they did not prove anything that we all did not already know, but it sure was entertaining.
