What is the best sounding cam to put in a 416 stroker!!
I am in the process of buying a 416 from mackin that has a comp cams 292H "nostalgia purple" cam. That cam is supposedly made to give a lumpy idle. I have no idea what cam is in my 340 but it definately has that sound! I may put the top end from this stroker onto the 340 just to see if the cam sound changes much when the heads allow the engine to flow.
The power it made with ported eddy RPM heads, victor manifold, 830 holley is (corrected, RPM, TQ, HP):
3500 461 307
3600 466 320
3700 467 329
3800 469 339
3900 473 351
4000 475 362
4100 478 373
4200 483 386
4300 487 399
4400 491 411
4500 494 422
4600 496 435
4700 498 445
4800 498 455
4900 498 464
5000 496 472
5100 493 479
5200 489 484
5300 484 489
5400 479 493
5500 473 496
5600 466 497
5700 458 497
5800 448 495
5900 441 495
6000 433 495
Is that wimpy? Theengine may have made more power with a different cam but until I try, who knows. We'll see how it does in the fish. Can't wait!
