    Cam suggestion
    « on: February 23, 2007 - 05:56:08 PM »
    Well, my cam is WAY to hot for my build in my 440...Anyone suggest any cams slightly hotter than stock but very mild? :clueless:

    A lot of people recommend the Mopar .484 cam.....but probably wouldnt go over the .509 cam,,,,for a mild street cam!

    I like roller cams myself...more lift with less duration for streetability.....I think Chyrco likes the engle K54 cam


    GRIND                   LIFT        LIFT         LIFT          DURATION     
    NUMBER                 1.6           1.5         at Cam         @ .050”         
    K-54HYD      .501”      .470”        .313”                214      
    K-56HYD      .538”      .504”        .336”                224          
    K-58HYD      .549”      .514”        .343”     230      


    What is your current cam specs?

    if you like i can email you engles complete list!

    I threw away the box that had the cam specs on it about a month ago :pullinghair:  But If i remember right it was a .510?  If I go with a roller cam do I gotta change my valve train springs, lifters, rocker arms?

    I want it to be a good street cam.  I'm running an Edelbrock high-rise intake, a 4-spd tranny, and a 3.21 8 3/4 rear end.  Something that will give me halfway decent fuel economy as far as a 440 goes.  Basically, not a drag cam, something for a cruiser that can get up and go...i really don't know how else to explain what i'm looking for :lol:

    well if your running a high rise edelbrock it is probably the Torker 2 or performer rpm which I believe is rated at 2500-6500 rpm....so you will want a cam in that power range to match...

    why do you think your .510 lift cam is too much...??

    Mopar .484 cam specs                  CL        lift                      rpm range

    Mopar .509 cam specs

    I wish I would have kept the box...I asked someone who builds motors for racing and he said the cam was fairly hot for a street car.  AG...i really wish i kept the box I could give you exact specs on it, I know it was a comp cams extreme 2 or something like that. :dunno:

    I run a solid roller comp cam .627 lift with 1.7 roller rockers duration is 254 @ .50 - 110 CL

    no problems street driving for me....  :burnout:


    I would get some more suggestions.. I personally think the comp .510 is fine...dont like the 108* centerline though!

    or you can just get the .484 cam buy 1.6 rockers and get a little more lift of .516 and have a 114* CL  ...

    Will the .484 lift mopar cam give me a stable idle?

    not really , the Mopar cams have more duration / lift than similar engle grinds , you can have a .508 lift Engle with less duration & better idle quality

    I plan on staying with a hydraulic flat tappet cam, but I don't want to have to babysit the throttle just to keep it running.
