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.

 
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
263/270@.050 .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 272/278@0.050" 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 263/270@.050 693/694 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.
 
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.
