284/484 Purple shaft is a decent cam for soundand performance. My buddy has that one with a 2400 stall Mopar convertor and it runs 12.75 all day long in a 64 Dodge 330. Very Streetable too. You'll find that Purple shaft cams have an idle like no other. I have a comp XE 274 in my 400 now. Seems to work good. My convertor stalls at 2600 or so, so it's not ignorant on the street. I personally like mechanical secondaries but no matter, 750 if it's jetted and tuned should work with your combo.

If you decide on the 284 purple cam I have that cam and lifter set, unused. Went to a Comp mutha thumpr so don`t need. $100 plus ship cost.

I'm running the MoPar .455 "/ 272 in a 10.1:1 440 and a TCI 11" street converter. I think it says approx 1000 RPM over factory stall speed - whatever that is. The combo seems to work great with a 750 AFB and a factory iron intake. Car runs 13.30's at 109 on street tires and 3.55 gears.
