It is big enough to make good top end power, but it will also drive really nice with a typical high stall street converter. It isn't a race cam so don't buy a race converter, just stick with high performance street parts. Call Porter Racing Heads and tell them what you're trying to do and they'll get you the correct camshaft for your application.


I think I'm going to take your advice and go with the MP528 solid cam. Will it be a direct swap for the Howard's cam/lifters I have now or will I have to change the pushrods as well? I had installed new Trend pushrods when I installed the Comp Magnum rocker arm assemblies.
