Any Trickflow Top End 440 Users Out There?

[Road Grabber]

I’m looking for any feedback reviews on the street ability and performance of this kit that Trickflow claims to provide dyno proven kits that push upwards 600hp when assembled in a 440 Mopar.

Is the cam/engine street worthy?
Can power brakes function with the cam?

Thanks

I built this one a decade ago…
Trick Flow 537 build

The 446 cubic inch version of it is currently sitting in my shop. I’m guessing it’ll make somewhere around 560hp.

Awesome job.

So that was a custom ground cam?
By who?

How did you come up with the cam specs?

I have a six pack engine with a builder with a very mild cam it seems. The numbers have come in low and I am investigating a different cam but don’t have a source for advice. Howard’s cam suggested my cam. I had issues with bent pushrods and awaiting more dyno tests. Builder believes the pushrods weren’t strong enough.

I’d like to contact someone who can give some solid advice with Mopar and Trickflow experience. Any suggestions?

I've built a bunch of Mopar big blocks with Trick Flow heads. 600 hp is easy, so is 700 hp. I pushed my pump gas 470 close to 800 hp with out of the box Trick Flow heads. Typically you aren't going to make 600 hp on a 440 short block with a street cam. 600 hp is easy with a really good intake manifold, correct headers and a race cam.
A street engine typically will have a dual plane intake, smaller headers and a modest camshaft. Combine those things with TF heads on a 440 short block and you'll get an engine that makes a little over 500/500. It will be a really nice engine. Should run nice and smooth, pull hard, scare the wife when you floor it, etc., but it isn't a race engine.

Can you suggest a cam(s) for a street BB you had experience that will allow power brakes and produce those high torque numbers?

I don’t need a full race engine but would like to get the potential using those heads.

Would you know if the cam sold with the Trickflow top kit is one of those cams?

Thanks for your input
