I am putting together a 2nd generation HEMI and would like an opinion on the cam I have. This is a 484 ci, ported Stage V heads from Tim Banning, stock 2 plane intake and stock carbs. TTI headers. Comp Cams: Solid Roller, Duration @ .050 236/243, Lift, .603/.552 at valve. Lobe centerline, 113 degrees.

I'm not too familiar with solid rollers. Will this be streetable? Will it have a decent idle? Enough vacuum for power brakes? I got this cam and lifter set with a bunch of other parts purchased. Probably over $1,000 bought new, so would hate to waste it.

That Hemi will idle like a new caddilac with that cam. It's too small to really take advantage of the heads and the displacement. I'd add about 20 degrees to the duration. A stock intake will cost you a ton of power as well compared to a Stave V dual quad. Good luck, Joel

It is a good thing that you asked. You don't want to give the Hemi bashers any ammo. We don't want to be hearing a bunch of stories: "I just beat a Hemi with my 327 Nova", my stock 340, etc..
So when you build a Hemi, you have to build a raging bull elephant, not a little baby elephant holding onto its mammas tail. You have a great start with the heads and the stroke. Now you need a big rompin' cam and a decent intake to wake it up!
