After searching options I chose this option for my 408. Giving me plenty of reserve for when I want more

I'm gonna be running pretty close to your set up. Hughes cam about identical numbers just hydraulic not roller. Same headers. 11-1comp. Aluminum Indy w2 heads 2-10 intake 1-65 exh. Indy 360-1 single plane intake. The tall one. 850quick fuel. But sounds like I might be better going with a 950...

How are your 408s performing

Seat timing numbers is new to me. I will check my camshaft papers to see what all it gives me. If not i can call and get them

Cam range is 2400 to 6400 rpm

Some good fuel or even mixed fuel will be just fine. Plus octane booster can be used. Will be more fuel expensive but will be fine

they are aluminum heads and the intake is the tall one. There will be a hood scoop on car. It is an 8&3/4 rear end with sure grip and i have had no problems with that. I have 2 complete extras sitting in wait if there is a problem.

I suggested the hydraulic cam because that is what I have always ran. Plus I liked the Indy head and intake combo so Hughes went with what I wanted and told me that I could always step up to the solid roller later since I would already have the top end to handle it

I was thinking just that. Plus for now if I want extra I can touch it with a 100 or 150 shot of nitrous here and there. I have been running nitrous for over 20yrs at those rates with never any issues. I never want to run over 150 on anything. It's just there for that little boost when i want it.

Thats what the site is for. Gaine knowledge from people that has experienced past issues and see what u guys recommend. I am definitely listening and will be looking into a solid cam for sure. Better now then not liking it after it's all together and in the car

I will also get with TTI and see if they recommend the larger headers instead of the step headers that go from 1&5/8 to 1&3/4. Those step headers are rated at 575hp without loosing bottom end torque. That's why I was looking at that size header

Hydraulic cam was my preference with what I had ran in my 360 set up. Ran same cam and lifters for 17 years never adjusting them and never any problems with great power. I will get with them and upgrade to solid before install

I am agreeing with u. I will look into some solid lift cams before it goes together

I buy all my engine combinations from Hughes engines. They recommended this camshaft for my set up since it is going to be driven daily and on the hwy. They special build all there cams to get maximum power out of them. As long as it puts me running where I want to be and i can daily drive...

This will be a daily driver with lots of miles put on it that's why I went with that size and a hydraulic cam But I can always up size the cam if i want more.
