Thanks for all the responses. I tried the online computer dyno to try to get an idea on how much torque vs horsepower the cams would give (ball park). All are in a good range,all will give, according to the program, 370 to 397 hp and 440 to 480 lbs torque, but the bigger 280 cam gives about 29 hp over the smaller 262 cam, and the smaller cam gives about 40 lbs of torque over the biggest. The Hughes cam and Voodoo cam are in between.

What is better for a cruiser? gain 40 lbs torque or 27 hp? Maybe a better question is about how much torque does a 383 need to put out to push the Road Runner with ease?

Thanks
Carl

Hands down, gaining the
40 ftlbs of torque! You need it for "powering thru
the gears", passing, or just plain hi-speed cruising (60+ mph or higher) on the highway!!
But idle content is important too, so is quiet
operation till you put foot in it!! I have to
agree with some of the other members on the cam
from Mr. Six Pack. Not that I am posting a plug
for him, it just makes sense!! Especially with the
3.23's!!! All I can say is do more research on his
camshafts.
