I got one much like that in my Hemi, a Comp cams grind. The specs are straight out of AndyF's Hemi book. (Correction brain fart, Whoops its RichN who wrote the hemi book this cam is out of.) He said it should run on the street with very little maintenance. I used Best Machines roller lifters w pressurized oiling to the roller bearing and the perp. oil holes. spec are crh 4123b 246 254 @ .50 .646 .639 lift mines an EFI cam so its on a 114 LSA

Get a hold of Scott Brown formerly straightline performance or Damon Kuhn of Fugly racing in TX. Both are cam gurus. I would lay money they will give you a cam that will make more power than an off the shelf job and still be smaller than you are expecting. I have seen both of thier cams in action. One in a pump gas hemi making 851 with something like a 640ish lift the other in a wedge in that ball park on race gas. The wedge is a low 9 high 8 second car and comes in at 3200 if my mind does not fail me. Oh and both are under 500cid. just my Yes I will use one of those 2 for my next project and for the freshen up I need to do to my BB when funds allow.

Rich Nedbel? of FASTMAN EFI designed a camshaft for a 511 street HEMI with FAST fuel injection for me. It was very tame and docile on the street and the as cast Stage V HEMI heads it made 721 horsepower. Nice camshaft and the FAST fuel injection works AWESOME!!!! Rich knows his fuel injection stuff.

The cam companies I have talked with don't recommend a solid roller for the street due to durability issues. Just sayin.

From their perspective, there is not much up side, mostly risk in recommending a solid roller to a customer for street service. I would guess that most cam suppliers and distributors will recommend against them unless they know you or have a good sense of the type of customer you are. Obviously, the valve action is faster, and the spring pressures higher. Your valvetrain will see considerably more stress and it is silly to think that it isnt at a higher risk of catastrophic failure. My guess is that some customers will then blame the cam company and/or distributor for the failure.

What are you guys running for the drive gear? That's the part I'd be worried about, getting bronze all over the inside of the motor....
My gear has going on four yeasr on it, racing and street. Some gears live without wear and some wear faster than others I wish I knew how to tell the good from the not so good, but I don't There was a employee at Crane Cams that had a large C.I. Indy stroker wedge motor in a early RR that ran the Hot Rod tour, One Lap around America as well as several other long cruise events, he had 70,000 miles on his brtonze gear when I talked to him about the gears wearing I was trying to buy a two piece cam core, stock front with oil pump gear and all the rest steel, to have ground by Comp Cams for my street motor back before Crane went BK. Crane was the only cam maker that had them back then, I ended up buying a steel solid roller cam from Comp Cams and have been running it every sense with absolutely no troubles with the bronze gear and oil pump shaft I bought from Mopar
