I thing a lot of us would love to see these videos and know what cam specs you have!! From mild to wild!!
 
Here’s my old iron headed 440, nothing special. .284/.484 906 heads, hooker super comp headers, Holley 750. I’ll get a video of the new engine once it’s up and running.

 
526 RB block with ported TF 240 heads, 2" Doug's Headers
Howard's SFT 260/266@ 50 .617/.620 lift
 
Ya I’d bet at least, probaly more room to grow with a bigger cam.
I dunno. Some better minds than I said go smaller.
Race weight is 4220. It's a 4 speed with a 3.54 Dana and 28" tires.
I have a fiberglass hood ordered and some 4.10s are in the future.
I ran 11.71@ 117, first time out, but had fuel issues. And it sucked off the line.

Trick flow top end kit runs a smaller cam than that and claims 600+\600+ with standard port 240’s. One of the members here has a standard stroke 440 with trick flows 240’s making 590hp. I dunno you’d think ported 240’s would want a bigger cam, but I don’t build engines so who knows lol.
 
What kind of power that beast make?
I'm building a street 512 engine for my charger, I'm going trickflow 240s, rpm intake, and howards hydraulic roller cam and comp rockers. 10.36 compression. Going to be a while, have to get the body ready. Shortblock finished.

Should be a mover! I have a similar cam in mine 296/303
263/[email protected] .650/.651 with 1.6 T&D roller rockers Lift comes out to .693/.694

I'll try linking a video. This is the 400 stroked to 500", 12.4:1 compression, 264/264 @ 0.050" lift on 112 LSA. Victor Max Wedge heads, Old 2" Hooker headers connected to 3" TTI H-Pipe exhaust with the TTI supplied Super Turbo Mufflers.

Sounds great, what kind of fuel do you run?
 
The '69 Convertible R/T. 440 stroked to 505, stealth heads, 10.3:1 compression, Comp XR286HR-10 Hydraulic roller. RPM air gap and 770 cfm avenger carb. TTI 1-7/8" headers, TTI 2.5" X-pipe exhaust with Superturbo mufflers.
Both cars have been changed around since these videos, but this is what I have to post for now.

That was 110 leaded race gas. I converted to E-85, but not really liking it as I don't drive the car alot anymore after putting the new cam and heads on (about a year or two after this video was taken.)
Since the Jensen project is on hold, I have been thinking of putting the FiTech GO EFI 8 -1200 HP on the Charger just to see how hard it would be to tune? Might even try tuning it on the E-85? I have the 450 lph Welbro pump sitting on the shelf, and a lean burn low deck dist I may try out for the ignition?
I think the cam in it now is 272/[email protected]" and 0.726" lift, and the heads are now the Hughes CNC monster ported Victor Max Wedge heads (400 cfm).

That things gotta fly, I have the fitech for my 505 with OOTB ported max wedge heads. Cam is 263/[email protected] 693/694 108lsa with fitech 1200. Not running yet but hoping the fitech works well

Thanks, but its not that fast (mid 11's), it just sits there and smokes ;)
Really just an overpowered street car. I don't even have a roll cage in it. It has pretty much stock suspension and 11" wide x 27" tall tires. 60' are slower (I think 1.8-1.9?) than when I had the 451 engine in it (1.7), but MPH is higher by about 10+ MPH (120 MPH).
Note that is at Bandimere mile high+ altitude (not uncommon for DAs to be 9,000 ft) and the car weighs 4,150 pounds.
 
Comp Cam. CRB XE275HL-10 Hyd.

Really old VHS video from around 2002? The announcer was wrong, the car had the 451 stroker. 11:1 compression, 252/252@ 0.050" cam, B1 BS heads, and really loud 3.5" Dynomax race bullet mufflers. 2nd gear burnout.
