Help me select a cam -

[Fast340cuda]

I’m building a 493 with trick flow 270 heads, 11-1 compression, and the same Indy dual plane intake. I had Ray Barton order me a custom flat tappet from Bullet. I think your current cam is a little small (I know mine isn’t a roller but may help as a reference). Here are the specs from mine:

By the flow numbers your -1s are way better than mine. Though I run 580"@15-1 comp. My cam is 285/292, 112lca .800". It could still make more power with more cam. I would bet you could easily use [email protected]". Who did your heads?

LA 360 @ .030 over, forged 3.58 crank, TF heads, flat top zero deck Federal Mougal H116CP (Think KB-107’s), PRW 1.6 rockers, .573 lift, rpm intake, summit 750, tti headers, cam below. I forget the head gasket thickness, but it’s 4.04 on the bore. I had Cometic custom make it. Pricey but worth it.

Stock converter custom stalled and reworked by Pro Torque, 904-3.55, 26X10 mickeys, Cal Tracs 340 T bars.

I forget where the timing curve is set at. MSD ready to run with the black bushing installed, vacuum advance hooked up, IIRC, Initial @ 15*’s, or so… maybe more. I forget, sorry.

All in a no option ‘67 Cuda. Under 3K in weight.

Here’s the cam card to the Comp Hyd. roller.

Sounds like a lot of fun!

Dont forget he is running a dual plane intake with those great flowing heads he has

I have the single plane as well - but I have concerns about clearance issues

I understand, as you can tell hood clearance issues are not a concern for my junker lol

Thanks. It’s pretty OK. It needs a little more stall and gear. I barely get into 3rd gear at the track. But it is designed as a very easy going and driving street car. A little slow off the line. Once at speed or in its power RPM area, it moves nicely.

Whittling away at it every now and again.

Nice. What did they give you for a lead time?

Call comp cams and tell them specs.
