Bryon, yes I could simply have a cam ground by a number of local cam grinders which may be an option.
I was looking for a ready made cam that is ground close to factory specs other than the Mopar Performance one. A cam that other poeple have used with good results.
MR Six Packs cams are made by engle I believe.
does anyone have the factory cam specs with the specs at .050 as the service manual does not indicate these specifications.
I did speak with Hughes. They were someone helpful however they didnt (or the guy i spoke with) didnt have the factory specs or crossover cam that he could say was an almost match. (probably because they grind their cams on different lobes) They did give me a cam suggestion that im considering, just looking for other options.

MR. Six Pack cams are really nice for a stock build. I have ordered 6 now from Bob and always look to him now for my cams. I could not be happier with them.

Comp cams has their version.Ground on 110 LC not 113 like the Mopar.222-226@.050.268-276 advertised duration.Lift is .464. Slightly noisier than the stock cam.Good power though.Crane and Lunati also have a version.Mopar Perf has likely the closest to original.Their repo Street Hemi solid is spot on.
Leave the gun.......take the Cannoli's....Mike

not sure where his are made, but maybe give him a shout - never heard anything bad about Bob Karakashian - mr6pk@hotmail.com
For what it's worth, I recently had one go bad and both he and Engle refused to do anything about it.

mopar performance orig 6 pack cam is the best
Yes I've used them with great success in the past however they are being manufactured in CHINA now and I have heard some issues with their metalurgy that concerns me.
Hence the reason I'm looking for alternatives..

sounds like a call to comp with the correct cam / lifter specs would be best.

That explains why I just got a Mopar Performance OEM Hemi Purple Shaft cam and was concerned when it wasn't purple like every other purple shaft I had gotten.
