Are Hughes cams that good?!!!

I am running the older HE3844AL cam in my 360 motor. 238/244 @ 0.050, .535/.540 lift and 108 LSA. Also running the valve springs they recommended at that time to be used with this cam, those being # 1111. But I ran SpeedPro HT2011R lifters with 0 (zero) pre-load, these are anti pump-up lifters. A tad noisy, but motor pulled easily to 6500 RPM.

Anyways...cam wise, I accept what their stated goal of delivering these cams was: get to the bleeding edge of lift for a specific lobe duration in a flat tappet hydrauilc cam. That risk was OK with me.

Since I built the motor I see that Voodoo now has even more aggressive cam profiles...as mentioned though, set your goal of risk/rewards and go from there.
