Hey guys, I'm looking for a good solid cam to replace my hydraulic Comp Thumpr.
Specs are as follows
3200lb 67 Valiant. (estimated w/driver)
318+ .030
Forged pistons.
915 j heads 2.02" 1.6" slight bowl blend
10.25:1 comp
3000 stall 904, Transgo TFII
3.7 gears. 25" street tires.
The cam I'm replacing is a hyd cam.
227/241 @ .050". .486"/.473" 102 ICL. 107 LSA. (20 degrees overlap)
new SOLID cam is
242/248 @ .050" .543"/563" 103 ICL. 106 LSA. (33 degrees overlap)
I will be using reco factory 273 adjustable shaft rockers

I've been told that a solid cam will behave like a hyd cam with a .050" spec of approx 10 deg less duration. Is this correct?
If so then these two cams are probably quite comparable in terms of streetability. with the solid cam offering better performance.
Is there any other cams you have experience with and would recommend for my combo?
Thanks, Frosty.
