It made ridiculous torque, ran 13.80's and idled like a caddy! Performed all out of proportion for its modest specs. As I recall, I ended up getting about 16 mpg on the hiway and the 73 weighed about 4K with my 220 in it. I expect it would be cost effective also.

It's not a cam, but an intake with narrow/restrictive runners will carry a higher velocity fuel/air charge at a lower RPM. I think that would improve the low RPM efficiency and of course kill off high RPM performance. One example is the Edelbrock SP2P 4bbl small block Chrysler intake.

I plan on building a torque monster efi'ed 440 backed by an overdrive for my 58 Plymouth. Your Imperial has to be close in terms of size, weight, and aerodynamics. 1958 Plymouth Suburban

Your Imperial has to be close in terms of size, weight, and aerodynamics. I'm not sure which Plymouth you've got but I can tell you a Fury is comsiderably smaller and lighter than the Imperial. Anything I do in the Imperial would pay off nicely in a car 20" shorter and 1500 lbs lighter. We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind. - Stu Harmon

Anything I do in the Imperial would pay off nicely in a car 20" shorter and 1500 lbs lighter. I have a Suburban. A little bigger and heavier than a Fury, but still "small and light" compared to an Imperial. I'll likely end up with a more aggressive cam than you. Mainly because my 440 will have around 10:1 compression, so I will need more duration to bleed some compression off. I do plan on loping down the highway at 70mph and 2000rpm. 1958 Plymouth Suburban

You could run two different cams and see which you liked best. Or grind one for NA and another for the turbo. With such a wonderful resource I just don't understand not using it. Call and ask for Tim. R.
