Nick, all you have to do is review your previous threads to gain a little insight.
You’ll notice a lot of knowledgeable people have given you great advice / info to use and study.
You’ll also notice as your threads continue, these people disappear as a result to how you respond within these threads.
You be the judge on whether your actions are getting the results you wish to receive.
Also - you won’t be happy daily driving a stock stroke 440 with a 250 @ 50 cam.

I cant be the only one here who thinks the op has the typical defensive attitude common in this new younger generation deal............ Lol ok ur definitely right... (que the “hah now hes defending himself from me saying hes defensive”). When people are rude for no reason i will be like this. Especially if its affecting the thread from actually being helpful to me or anyone else that might need it. This is a mopar forum so whys everyone acting like 12 year olds on xbox? You are closer to 12 years old than probably anyone on here......

No, not in a daily driver that you need to be dependable for all sorts of trips in all sorts of weather. For a real street car stay in the 230's or maybe low 240's. It is a complicated equation to solve so you either need to work with someone who has a lot of experience or just bite the bullet and do some R&D yourself. The Chevy ZZ502 is a very well behaved engine that the Chevy engineers designed to drop into a variety of street rods, muscle cars, etc. They put a 224/234 cam in that engine so that should be a baseline for anyone who is asking about a camshaft for a daily driver stroker.

It also depends what you're willing to live with. I had a 509 cam (advanced a couple degrees) in my old Charger. Low compression 440, 750 Holley, 1 7/8 headers, 4 speed and either 2.76, 4.10 or 4.30 gears depending on what rearend parts were broken at the time. Zippy helped me put it together many years back. It got driven on and off year round, including when it was 20* out. It was a little soggy to drive with the 2.76 gears but other than that it was fine.

The 250@.050 would be pretty good for the stroker correct? I built a stroker with the help of this forum last year. I based it off of a 400 block using a 440 Source rotating assembly to bring it up to 512 cubes. This is the cam that was recommended: http://www.compcams.com/Company/CC/cam-specs/Details.aspx?csid=722&sb=2 It's a 230 @ 50 hydraulic roller. It has excellent street manners with enough vacuum for power brakes and is all done by 5500 RPM. Now if only I had solicited advice regarding heads I wouldn't have purchased the Eddies I have on the car now.

Does anybody have a rattle and a sippy cup for the trust fund baby? Going to school and has cash for a charger and a Jeep plus a build of said charger? That ties all this together nicely. Makes total sense now. We all tried to help him, he just wants to be an attention seeking millennial (or gen z) on a mopar board. Uh, well, ok.
I want my fair share

If the thread bothers you so much then why are you continuing to waste your time and energy reading and posting in it. So the guy is asking questions, big deal. Can't believe a grown man gets so bent about someone asking questions.

I haven't read all of the threads by the OP..But the first thing I would ask is what is the budget and how far out is the planned build...My granddad always told me that you can poop in one hand and wish in the other and see which hand fills up faster... Sounds like the budget is pretty open... What is wrong with you buddy? You go to my facebook and find a specific post to screenshot? To prove what?
