Will this cam work with my application?

30 over 383 with TRW 12-1 dome pistons and 915 heads, 4.11 suregrip rear end

Racer Brown 485/286

It’s a 1970 special service Chrysler part (pre direct connection)

Part number 3412073

Edit: Think it’s a SSH-25

It will. Question is whether your wallet will happily fund he fuel for it.

What do you mean by that? Are you sure? I am worried about compression, and it will be run on E85

IMO, the cam is not the big issue, SSH-25 was a good cam in the day. 12-1 dome pistons will need better gas. If you have access, you could mix 110 race gas or 100 aviation fuel.

That will be fine on E85. It's way old school. But will perform pretty decent. Keep the rpm down to a reasonable level. itll live a long happy life. Find a loose converter.

Oh E85.... we don't have that option around here. I agree with Doug, should be fine. I thought E85 likes 12:1

E85 is good to 14-1

So the alcohol content is high enough to slow the combustion rate down enough to handle the high static CR?

 

[wyrmrider]

depends on the dynamic compression with the cam
alcohol cools
at your cr you should be good
14 takes a big cam
we ran 60 pounds of boost with LOTS of alcohol 50 years ago with a stock wedge chamber, tight quench and not to big of a Winfield cam
