Cam Ideas

Stock 1.6 Magnum rockers good choice for what you are doing
did you check ELGIN for that stock cam?
lets work off what 273 said
but what if you could have the larger cam at lift and .200 duration
and the smaller cam at .006 (we will have to guess at Hughes cams .006 and .200 and work off Hughes .050 we have no idea how his work from .006 to .050 which Harvey Crane called "Intensity"

Here are some HR lobes which are not as radical as Hughes as he has a reputation for pushing the envelope and I do not know who grinds his HR cams
using Hughes smaller 208 @ 50 I come up with a 260-264 seat timing

260° 211°126°.316″.505″ about the same lift as the larger Hughes cam
260 208° 128° .327″ .523″ .032 more lift and .024 more lift than the larger cam most likely more at .200
260°210° 132° .313″ .500″ here we have 132@200 with same lift as the larger cam but same estimated seat to seat as the smaller cam

264 212° 128° .310″ .496″ same lift as the larger cam this one is going to rev higher
264 218 139 .340 .544 same 264 but way more area under the curve

BTW AJ/FormS has a recent post where he ballparks 165 psi cranking to get best non pinging Dynamic compression with Iron heads I agree (less for regular gas or a Truck, more for a race car)
What I'm trying to show is that you can increase your DCR with a shorter cam and driveability under 3000 rpm yet not give up any power as proxied by the .200 number
you get the 165 by a combination of your static compression ratio and the point your intake closes- a key data point
BTW a 264 CAM wants 9.7 CR 256 wants 9:1 260 in the middle somewhere
so knowing your compression ratio is the key for a street machine/ daily driver
Hot rod just stick a big cam in and live with no low end or change gears and converter etc
