Cam & engine gurus gtf in her meow!

Old Hemi grind 484/484 I went down that rabbit hole as a stupid teenager.
Stock 318 4-speed 3.91 gears, to top it off I but bigger chamber J heads on it.
POS would only do 10.00 flat in the 1/8 mile.

It was a dog, but sounded like a thrash machine.

Never again, when I buy an off the shelf cam, I buy the next one smaller than the manufacturer recommends.
There have been at least three versions of that cam and they kept getting bigger. The eighties version was advertised 284 duration. 471/.474 lift, 109 CL.
A freind ran his Dart well into the 12s with this cam both 4 speed then automatic .
