Some 5.9 roller cam help from y'all please
No, to the Rhoades question.
Why must it be under a .500 lift?
Just over .500 lift. ->

Well for one I cant see changing a bunch of stuff I don't need, so a mild lift not requiring higher performance parts on a high geared car it seems to make sense.
Pretty much a torque (towing grind) cam with a little lope to it at idle would be perfect, but I don't know enough about cams to make the decision on what I need for specs to get it.
They have been around since the 70's at least.... they do what they say: reduce duration at lower RPM's. Just noisy from all I have ever read.....
The Rhoads lifters will not help your lift so I am not sure if it will actually make what you have into a torque cam and it won't increase overall 'poop'...... Do you have the stock cam? Can't see it doing what you want at all really......

Kinda what I was thinking also, and why I asked when he posted it.
(Although came out a bit sarcastic I couldn't help myself)
looking at the stock cam with .410" lift and peak power at 4000 rpm, look at Crane 708501, 264*/272* and .467"/.482" , 2200-3000 cruise and 1600-5600 range
Thank you, I'll check some out along that line of specs and see what the results are.
Also going to call Hughes on Monday and see what they think about what I'm after.
A friend has Rhoades lifters in his 318, and it had great low and mid range torque.
If I can afford them, I'll run them, and my build should be similar to yours.
The problem there is I'm sure it's not just the Rhoads lifters, but what went in with them.
Something like 218/224 ground on like a 112 for good vacuum signal and nice manners. Oregon can do a nice job.
Though I don't really know the differences, this seems to be the range of specs I seem to be leaning towards.
Is it the duration that gives the tell tale performance cam sound, the overlap or a combination?
I guess I want the best of a few worlds I don't have a clue about how to get there.
Nice sound, good mid throttle power and not trashing fuel economy is how I can explain it best.
Stock 5.9 Magnum grind,already has it...
I believe this is true, and was considering the older 380hp crate motor cam, but I figured that was a few years ago and there might be something better out there now.
Starting to think a tractor pull cam with a light lope would be what I want. :D
just run the mag stock its all you need
I so would because for the most part you are right, if my younger Brother would be ok with it.
Sounds kinda weird but he is financing part of it and asked only for a bit of lope to the idle in return.
It's a thing he has from long ago that he feels needs to be made right, so I let him.
He joyrode and trashed one of my trucks when we were growing up. :D
I told him I wrote that off a long time ago to little brother's sucking, but here we are.
Ok, enough with the personal BS.
