I ran the 285 cam in the 493 in my Charger. Great sound, great power.....BUT both wiped cam lobes even with careful prep and break in. The second cam was actually over the top as far as installation, cam lube, break in additives and Royal Purple oil. STILL with box stock Eddy heads and springs, FAIL. I deferred to the Mopar 509. It makes less power, but it still has all 16 lobes.



My car runs so good though, that I would be surprised that the cam is bad. I just did some more carb adjustments and have it running the best so far. It hauls, plenty of power, torque, but the damn noise.
