I ran a "MM Lobe" 259 @ .050 and .585 lift in my 470 and I liked it a lot. I did add a vacuum canister for the power brakes though. I'm probably going to put that cam back in the 496 when it's done.

I won't be running power brakes so that is not a concern.

I think something 255-260 with 110lsa would be perfect.

were both of these speced by muscle motors? and are they on a 112 lsa? the 259@.050 cam looks like the cam in my 470 from muscle motors. i am happly with it, but i think i would have rather called up dwayne and got what he sugested

If anyone else has an opinion on the three cams I listed above I would appreciate it. My engine guy is at the point of the build where he needs to install the cam next and I need to get one ordered by tomorrow morning. Thanks in advance.

I can say it enough call dwayne porter at porter racing heads and order up what ever he thinks. You will not be disappointed. The thing i like most about dwayne is he listens to what you want, how you want the car to act and he is honest about expectations.

Yes the 259@.050 was, my 470 was also built by MM and I think that was their cam of choice for a lot of those 470's

A shame Mike's closing shop, I wanted them to build my new engine...

for a motor like this, and i think i will do the same for a 451 i'm going to build.
i would be thinking about a solid cam around 245*@.050 on a 112 lsa, using the ford lobes from howards.
if hydro, i'd do more like 240*@.050 and that would put lift in the .550 range with the howards ford lobes.

but i would call Dwayne for his input and probably order it from him...

I would have responded sooner but my computer has had issues from last Saturday until this evening
I don't like wide LSA angles on BB Mopars with stock type heads or a motor that will not be RPM above 7000 RPM regularly
On your deal for maximum power and idle sound I would choose either the next to largest at .050 or the largest one you listed and have it ground on either a 108 or 106 LSA and install it 3 to 6 degrees advanced on the intake lobes
The only time I look at using anything wider than 110 LSA on a BB Mopar V8 is on a power brake car
My next pump gas stroker motor will have a solid roller lifter cam ground on a 105 LSA installed from 99 to 101 ATDC on the intake lobes with 260 @ .050 or a tiny bit larger duration at .050
