Can anybody give me a run down/opinion on this cam? Elgin's catalog very vague on usage etc. Thanks in advance

I've run a similar camshaft in a 340. It's a step up from the factory 340 camshaft.

Pulled to about 5300. Good enough power to get a 70 Dart to 102-103 mph in the 1/4

Hey cracked...what do you think about this cam in a 273?

 

[GeorgeH]

Ok thanks, good for a mild build? Stock la360, magnum heads.

Yeah, it's a decent camshaft for a mildish build. Has a little idle snarl to it, not much. Good with an auto car, will pull real good vacuum with proper initial timing in the 16-20 range.

I think it would work really well in a 273/318. A 262H would also work well...

Thanks again.

That grind has been offered by literally everybody. TRW, Melling, Elgin, Alliance, General Kinetics and on and on.

It's essentially the Edelbrock Performer.

It's a damn good old school grind.

I ran the speed pro version, but yeah, everybody and their mother had a grind similar.

RRR, the sb mopar performer cam is 208/.420, IIRC.
