Big block camshaft question

Daveo,

For your needs, I think a solid flat tappet will suit your needs. Mopar purple cam shafts are also very popular, the 509 is a common one.

My last piece of advice is something I was told by a fellow member on here, duplicate a proven combo from a proven source.

If he goes the way of a purple shaft I have nothing but good things to say about the 284/528/112 solid. I've built 2 440's with that cam and my latest just went 11.74 in full DOT trim at the track. Both made around 500hp on the dyno depending on the tune, intake and headers. Idles great and makes tons of torque with a very flat power curve.
