Camshaft suggestions

I don't have to juggle anything.

If I'm putting a XE274H, 284/484, 508 or any other cam that has better than 230 at .050 duration in my engine to run the 1/4, mileage is not a major concern. No way a 204/.050 .420 lift cam even in a low compression engine (8.0-8.5) deal is gonna run with a xe274H with a good tune up, unless it has a juice plate on it. I'll crank that bigger cam forward and run the life out of that dinky cam.

Agreed Duane... the 284 and 508/509 cams are gnarly sounding for sure. I have a 508 in a 340, sounds like tarzan, runs like jane... I didn't build the engine and I'll bet the cam is straight up 108. Even locking out the timing at 36 degrees doesn't help it off the bottom, tight shelf converter... just trash. Can't wait to jerk the engine out and "fix" it.

Theory meet racetrack... so much nonsense in these threads anymore.
