I have flat tops w/no valve reliefs so I don't have a lot of room. 1967 Barracuda Formula S 383 1967 Chevy C10 Short Stepper 1980 Macho Power Wagon LWB 318 2021 Toyota Supra

I had solid roller cams that where a lot bigger than the solid flat tappet cams I use to use that fit better in the same motors with more lift and duration it is all about how far open the valves are near T.D.C. A new modern designed fast action cam lobe will open and close the valves a lot quicker than a older one of the same specs. will Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

I have one laying around that I stuck in a block to measure. with crane 1.5 ductiles and .022" lash it measured around .505" at the valve. obviously the 1.5's were closer to a true 1.6. I think this would be a nice 383 street/strip cam. how much advance that is ground into the cam will effect piston to valve clearance some. nice thing about the solid is no lifter pump-up, and this may give a little more room to work with.

Block has been decked .0125. I have 0.085 piston to valve clearance. Looking for a similar set-up, looking to take it to 6,500 rpm. I know with a solid there is lash introduced which will increase the lobe size slightly I can get away with. Not going roller, just a simple solid & want as much lift as I can but it's already in the car & I don't want to pull a head to check my clearances. Just trying to do it with the info I already know on the car. I didn't know if there were some not so mainstream cam mfgs that would be good to look into for this set-up. The comp XE is really noisy for a hyd cam so I may as well have something that is good on the top end since I now have adjustable rockers. 1967 Barracuda Formula S 383 1967 Chevy C10 Short Stepper 1980 Macho Power Wagon LWB 318 2021 Toyota Supra

I wouldn't do .085" piston to valve with a hydraulic tappet at high rpm. that xe274 is no where near a 6500rpm cam.
