With my old motor (440, 10:1, 440 source heads) when I changed from the .557 to .590 camshaft the car picked up .1-.15 in the 1/4 mile if I remember correctly. Most of the pickup was from middle track on. Since most of my racing is 1/8th mile anymore I'm looking at trying to get more out of my car in the 1/8th. If I were to install the .590 cam (which was installed straight up) in my last motor would it be beneficial to advance it this time and if so how much? My current engine is a different 440 with 10.9:1 with TF 240s (With the .557 cam installed straight up car usually is a 1.48 60ft, high 6.70s and 10.70s at 122mph) Proform 850 carb Victor 440 intake 8" coan 5000 stall convertor 727 footbraking Dana 60 with 4.56 Car weights 3150 lbs with me. I shift at 6,000 and try not to spin the motor over 6,500.

I think AndyF commented in a thread about Trick Flow combos, even at 500 CI, not needing as much duration to produce good numbers as other types of combos. Look at how small the cam they offer is and I think they claim over 600 HP with it.
