I just finished up a magazine article where I used a Comp XR292HR-10 hyd roller cam in my 505 motor. That was a really nice combination that made good power. It might be a tad big for a street car with full exhaust so if it was me I'd probably drop down to the XR286HR-10.
Give Dwayne a call at Porter Racing Heads and buy whatever he tells you to get. Dwayne will get you squared away with the right setup.
With a Performer RPM intake and a Holley 1000HP carb this motor made 630 hp. That is enough power to put you into the 10's if you can hook it up so one step smaller on the cam should still give you plenty of power.

Rich, if you're looking for info on big block Mopar engines then check out the book I wrote last year. Go to www.amazon.com and search for "Mopar big blocks". You'll find my book plus a few others on the subject.

I'd call Scott Brown at Competition Components, LLC www.buyracingparts.com Office: 616-499-6223. I'd think with more gear and convert it'd be easier to reach the 11's.

Hey adam,is this a b or rb block?The reason why I ask is because I am putting together a rb build right now and I am looking for ideas as well.How did it run and sound with the comp. cam? And can you let us know what hughes says?Sorry about all the questions but I am newbe to mopar and I am trying to learn all I can for the build I am doing.The bummer is my machinist just had back surgery at 72 years old and is down for a while and I have known him since I was a kid and he has built many bad boy motors for me.Any way any info or ideas would be great.Thanks
This is a raised block. I have yet to call Hughes Engines. It ran well with the Comp flat-tappet. She shook quite a bit and had a lumpy idle, but it pulled strong in the mid-range on up with just a hair of throttle applied.
I'm torn between running a mechanical or hydraulic roller at this point.
I believe the XR286HR-10 would be a great fit for the street in the hydraulic roller camp.
I'm also taking a look at the XR274R for a street solid roller. I will hardly drive it much and occasionally take the car out once in awhile to hit the drag strip for fun. How is a mechanical roller on the street?
Thanks. Adam
