Haven't seen Brad on in a while. Anyone know if he's still on here?

He took some time off to work on his car...

Well, i hope he gets it done. Haven't seen him post in a long time. He used a cam in his 470 and that exact same cam was spec'd by Bullet for my 511 and just wanted to ask how it worked out for him.

He got upset and left. Hasn't been back since February.

Jeff

I let Brad know about this thread, he says the last couple of cams he used were Comp spece'd by Dwayne Porter. Never used Bullet and doesn't have a 470.
Are you sure you are not confusing him with AndyF?

Not exactly

All that said, I miss Brads input here, I value his opinion, we both are from the Toy flowbench era . I hope he is doing ok

Same.

Last I remember, whe was contemplating taking an employer offered package and moving on to something else. Hope that is going well for him.

FYI he was put on hiatus here, he did not leave on his own. I miss Brad's input as well. He is one of us old timers who had been around here since the late 90's.

I was trying to be nice.

No, he pm’d me some flat tappet cams he tried and one was an Ultradyne (Bullet) 267/271@50. Curious how that worked for power in his 470. Bullet spec’’d me this for my 511. It’s going in this off season.

As has been said....... he doesn’t run a 470.

It’s an RB 452.

The first combo I dynoed for him had the UD 267/267, which was experiencing some upper rpm stability issues that day.
That cam was never run in the car.

Iirc, 440Jim ran the UD267/267 in the 470 in his Dart.

Yea,
I ran the UD cam. Starting with my 451 CID low deck with Edelbrock RPM heads.
Ultradyne NF63 Cam Specs: 294 @0.020, 267 @0.050, 185 @0.200, 0.609" valve lift

Yes, that cam. What issues did you have with that?

I don't recall any issues/problems. Here are my notes from 2002:
Crane aluminum roller rockers, 1.5 ratio on Edelbrock RPM heads
Comp Cams 10 degree retainers (#748, 1.5" dia), Isky 8005A valve springs, 140 lb seat, 390 lb open.
Edelbrock heads, 295cfm@0.600", 299cfm@0.700" intake (clean up porting only +10cfm), 228cfm@0.600", 235cfm@0.700" exhaust (some porting +25 cfm)
11.8 CR with 72cc heads, zero deck
2" Pro parts headers (a little long, but not as bad as the Hooker A-body headers).
950 HP carb, Edelbrock TM-6 intake with a little porting
8", 5100 rpm Coan converter (may go 5100-5200 with added CID)
4.56 gear, 30.6" tall tire
3150 lbs race weight
The car ran a best of 10.27 at 129.4 mph in the quarter mile, shifting at 6200 rpm, crossing the line at 6750 rpm.
I tried higher shift points (up to 6800, 0.05 slower) but it ETed the best there.
The sixty foot was 1.40-1.42 with a 6"-12" wheel stand foot braking (no trans brake), so torque at 5100 rpm was good.
The car has Dynomax bullet (straight through) "mufflers", but no tail pipes or cross over.

Ok, thanks Jim. Bullet tells me I can use my current springs which have 135#@1.900 and 430@1.250. Work good with my Comp 270@50 , 180@.200 .644 lift 110lda by Dwayne. This has been a great cam so not sure I will gain any thing going to this cam which is 267@50, 185@.200 on 108 with same lift. I’m also using Titanium retainers. Was really looking for advise on any opinions on these springs or if I need something different and was hoping to hear from Brad about this cam in his 452. Thanks

Seems to be a lot of Brads on here ,but there was a Brad that ran in the Monster Mopar series that runs a 540 could that be him

He goes by BradH. He has a challenger.

Sadly it seems that in the last few years a lot of the "old timers" have left for one reason or another. I miss the days when Bob George and crew were posting, a lot of knowledge has left here.

Ok.….that's the Brad with the 72-3 challenger with the 5" T/A hood blue with a black vinyl top
