One wire lock-up, 4 spd automatic w overdrive into A-body.
I know this isn't a cam selection thread, but I'm curious what factors went into the cam recommendation for your engine as my engine will be somewhat similar to yours. Thanks!
I simply told Dave Hughes it was for a 408 Magnum w/ SCT Tuned fuel injection, 30 lbs injectors, the car's sub 3000lbs weight, my intended use, the motor's premium pump gas compression and head choice and flow specs, the rearend gear ratio and that it would have an automatic overdrive transmission with 3000 rpm stall, lock-up converter.
I told him I wanted more of a torque monster that could still rev well, but it was going to be on the street 99% of the time, so I didn't want to over-cam it.
He almost immediately selected this cam, HER2836ALN-10. I'm running the stock Magnum 1.6 to 1 ratio rocker arms except in stainless steel with roller tips.
Without a bigger, less streetable cam, but the heads massaged to flow enough air for over 540 hp, I'm hoping to get close to the 500hp mark.
