Yep loved mine, although my motor wasn't really what you'd put a cam that big into>

440SP stock block+.030", approx 9.8:1SCR
stock 906 heads to start with
Team G, 850DP, 2" f/wells
4.88's- 14x32 tyre
L-bars/coil-overs
A1 4800 verter
best 11.23@118

added ported (258cfm) 906's 2.14/1.81, HS roller rockers
best 10.7@125
this was with my '69 Cuda between 1989/1990

Cam ran great, no issues, ticked over at 900rpm really smooth, pulled like a train from around 4000>....I probably would've gone quicker with a cam with an earlier closing intake though for some more DCR/CP. Its definately a classic cam which worked but I would think there are cams that make more HP these days as in split pattern designs etc.

I have used that cam for decades
It was designed to work with ported iron heads as there was nothing else at the time--the thing is is Really works with Indys and better heads
The thing about that cam is WHERE it is installed at
We always had best results installing at around 101 in a 440 CI and 105 in a 500 CI
Now granted we always ran 1/8th mile for the most part but if it is retarded it does not show what it really has to offer
It is THE base line combo for a 440 or 500 CI with Dash 1 Indys--just darn hard to beat and...you have NEVER been in a car that sounded better
First one we ever fired up we switched off right away knowing we had plug wires mixed up--found out it just needed about 5000 RPM to "clear out"
It is an amazing piece --you have to try one at least once
The cam needs lots of spring pressure and Titanium retainers are a MUST--break it in....then up your spring pressure to at Least 150 seat the more the better
It will pull the slober out of your mouth in second gear and high gear is a stunner first time you really lay the wood to it! The sound this cam makes all through the run is just simply stunning!
WHERE it is degreed at makes all the difference--folks that did not like it had in in wrong--out of the box you may have to advance a LOT to get it to 101 or 105 even..leading you to think something is wrong but let me tell you what!!!!!!
Don't quit running Mopars until you have experienced the beast sounding cam of all time
Don't forget the compression more is better

Jim I'm hoping to pick up a bit with that cam over the 324. I'm approx 12.5:1 shift at 6500 and have a 5800 stall.


5.53 @ 125 1/8th on the launch control..more left in her!

It's a big-a$$ old-school sft cam that runs a lot of lash (wasted lift and net duration). Sounds "Totally wicked!" at idle... but it's not the secret weapon cam IMO that some folks I know have claimed.

The last two people I know who ran it stuffed 'em into moderately hot 440s and ran 11.0s (in an A body) and 10.7s (in a more serious street/strip B body). Considering that I was running comparable -- or faster -- times with cams about 25 to 35 degrees at .050" smaller, their choice didn't make much sense to me.

I agree with that, I probably would've run as fast if not faster with less duration especially with my mild 446SP under 10:1 motor. However, even at that low SCR, you can see that going from stock 906 heads (approx 215cfm?) to 258cfm 906's netted me nearly 6/10ths and 7mph, now if I had the money to get those heads seriously ported to say 290>300cfm whats to say I couldn't have run down to low 10's@130?.....and I was only using around 6500rpm....that cam worked very well, just wish I could've thrown more at it to see more of its true potential.

Might be streetable in a 540 or 572 inch engine. Even then you would most likely need a lot of rear gear since the low end torque is going to be missing.

276 is quite a bit more docile in a 470" than 290 would be....\ I guess it all depends on what your definition of "streetable" is, as Bill Clinton might have said laugh

Doesn't sound like something I'd want to spend much street time in, unless your stoplights are 1/4 mile apart and you have friendly law enforcement! Listen to Andy, he has a lot of experience...

276-281 @ 470 cubes is a joy ride to say the least however till YOU drive one you can only speculate and Andy has knowledge for sure but mine again is on the street and track w/good results not in a dyno cell where the pulls usually start past the hardest carb tuning which is idle, transition and cruise. I will go much bigger next time around............ beer

Hey, it's your car, overcam it any way you like! shruggy

For the guy who asked, though, keep in mind that almost all street driving is done below 5000 rpm... 'course it'll sound really bad-ass though with all that lope...

Something alot of people seem to forget. Just like it' great to have heads that flow 400 cfm... but not when the velocity blelow .5 is like the mild breeze coming off a singer sewing machine at full boogie.

I run that cam in my car with the minus 90hp crossram, it's bad a$$ 272/276 620 lift. should run in the 9's easy with a single plane and dommi

run that cam in my current ride. 68 dart back half 4 link. have used it in lots of bracket motors. always find myself slowing car down, less launch rpm, turn shifter down, to stay out of the nines. is a bad mofo. years ago muscle motors said that advancing that cam
, like icl@ 99 will just make it faster. over the next winter during a freshen up I tried it. I chickened out when I got to icl@ 101. sure enough car picked up a bunch in 60, 330 and 660. had to slow car. that cam ia a oldy but a goody. got a deal on a 660 lift roller cam swapped it in and gained zero. your results may vary. I put the 650 back in.

Sounds like another candidate for Keith Dannuck to do a cam shoot out with.
Get a "suitable" 500"-ish motor to try it in, and have a few others try and supply something that makes more power.

I've never used one in anything myself, so no personal experience with it.

Well putting one in a 10 to 1 motor regardless of CID is nuts. They need compression and converter to work.(big shock there)In stock head and the smaller aftermarket heads they work very well.(eddies, sidewinders, stealths) We still use them pretty often in a bucks down build. Yeah you can drive them on the street (yes I have) but you might need some Excedrin when you arrive at your destination....Not saying it cannot be beat but you will be up past your bedtime if it is used correctly. The larger port Indy and Victor stuff like it but there are some better options. They do like to be advanced even down in the 100 to 102 range. (sorry never pushed one past about 101). Probably sold a hundred or more by now.....Todd
