cam

Hughes engines has a versiom called thier Whiplash series. I had one in my 440 for a while, and yes it sounded like a pro-stocker, but it was a pooch. A little background on the combo...440 forged crank, Eddelbrock RPM 84cc heads,Torker II intake with a Quick Fuel 850 double pumper (an RPM manifold would be a better choice, but the torker fit under my hood), TTi headers, a TRUE 10:1 c/r, 3200 Coan converter, and 3.55's with a 28 inch tall tire. A buddy put a Comp Thumper (same concept as the Whiplash) in his 383 and same thing.

I ended up using a cam from Bullet Racing Cams. The cam is set up for .904 Chrysler lifters. the intake is 236 @ .050, 525 lift intake, and 238 @ .050, 540 exhaust on a 103* C/L. Installed +4*. This thing is a great "hot street " cam. Pulls hard from the bottom (2200ish) all the way thru the upper mid range (5500). Has a great thumpy idle, and is really streetable. I would go to their web site and input all your info and see what they would recommend. This is a 73 Swinger that weighs in at 3275 lbs.

A big 'ol lumpy sound doesn't always equalperformance. I learned the expensive way, and didn't listen to my engine builder. Hope this helps.
