I was wondering if any body has ever used a Howard cam before, and if so what kind of luck have you had.

put a #720141-12 in an engine i put together last year. unfortunately the engine has sit and i probably won't use it. that being said i found thru running the lobes thru a degree wheel to be accurate and finish was good. the advance that was ground into the cam was way off by 6 degrees. basically had 10 degrees of advance ground into it.

if you have bought a cam from Hughes engines in the last 4 or 5 yr, its probably a Howards cam.
bought a hydraulic roller from Hughes 2 yrs ago, it was black label Howards.
coincidentally, it was defective.
sent it back to Hughes, they sent it back to Howards, and thats how i found out about it.
i tryed out a Howards Rattler in a SBF in my truck recently, i didnt care for it much, pulled it out for a Lunati 2 hrs later

Never tried a Howards cam before, but I just got a Lunati solid roller, and it is working real nice. The cam card even said that when the 106 degree ICL is reached, the cam will be 4 degrees advanced. I checked it, and it was at 105. Prob my error of 1 degree. I think Lunati is one of the few grinders that have their own manufacturing plant. Correct me if I'm wrong. It's in Mississippi. And their tech line was very helpful.

I have a flat solid in a 440.
Howards Cam Solid 720152-08
.656 Intake Lift, .662 Exhaust Lift, with 1.6-1
260 Intake Open @ 26, Close @ 54, @ .050
264 Exhaust Open @ 64, Close @ 20, @ .050 104 Center,
It made 629HP and pulls all the way to 7000 nice. As for running down the track I have yet to put it in. It's a back up motor to my work horse stroker.
