I am planning out my 440 build, and I keep seeing comments that the MP 509 isn't that great and that there are better cams out there. My question is, " What are the negatives of the 509? What makes the other cams better? " My plans are .030 over 440 with flat top pistons. Factory steel crank. Stealth heads with Harland Sharp rockers. M-1 intake with 850 dp. 727 with 10" convertor with 4.10 gears. Going in 67 Belvedere with racing seats, no back seat. Rear suspension will be Cal Tracs with stock leaves. Goal is mid 11's on drag radials. I know of two cars running low 11's with 509 cams. Not committed to 509 and am open to suggestions. I would prefer to stay with an hydraulic, but I know solid cams will make the power.
