408 Magnum Stroker Build...cam selection

Nash Stanton said
Wow, this thread is going nowhere on answering my question. It went from having to describe I have a magnum, to saying I have to get a custom cam otherwise nothing will work (hogwash), to 110 will not work with exhaust manifolds so I should get a less efficient 114 cam (hogwash), and to now defying my builder by throwing his "catalog" in the trash, which would mean the end of my 408 build.

Thanks rumblefish360 for one of the only helpful responses. The problem will calling converter companies is of course my factory converter will not work, because I need to get theirs!

I'll try to ask my question (that I've posted at least 3 times so far) somewhere else because this is going into a ditch.

It’s not in the ditch. You just don’t like the answers you’re getting. I very rarely ever suggest a cam out of a catalog. Ever. Too many compromises and since I joined this forum that has been what I have suggested.

If you already know what you want why ask here? I have never liked any Comp lobes in those families.

Your lack of converter makes cam selection even more critical.

Do what you want. Just don’t get pissy becuase you don’t like the answers you’re getting.

BTW, if you’ve read much around here you’d know I HATE hydraulic lifters. For very slow, soft lobes they are fine, but start getting agressive and they make noise and all that. And I’ll add in I’m not a fan of stud mounted rockers. I get the ease of the magnum block and hydraulic rollers it the draw backs just aren’t worth the squeeze to me.
