Mopar Performance Purple Mechanical Camshaft - P4120653AE Cam Card

Well, unless you try and make power like a certain class racer does, a better flowing port is always a help. IDK if I would port the X heads and even more so after the described treatment.

Im also not sure what the cost of the CNC program is for your guy or if the heads need to be rebuilt but I’ll just leave that cost out since there probably pretty good if there in use now with not an extreme amount of miles or abuse.

Im just saying here, not so much suggesting this route for you, but it if was a build from scratch, I’d look at these Shocker 185 Mopar CNC (Sold in Pairs) - PROMAXX Performance Products


or the trick flows (though a little more expensive on head and suggest rocker gear) which at the moment, are not in stock at trick flow. Maybe somewhere else. Point being is the fatter flow curve down low to the .500 lift area. I myself would use a 1.6 rocker on the MP .528 cam to regain the lift lost by lash and geometry angles.

As a side note, an opinion, if you don’t already have the MP mechanical .528, I would look for a different cam with very similar duration (though I might use a slightly less duration myself) and more lift. Don’t get me wrong. The MP grind is a good street & bracket cam.

If you already have it, stab it and run the socks out of it!
Great info, thanks for the reply
The CNC porting I referred to is Dave at KG Engines in OH, I spoke with him and seemed very knowledgeable offered up a complete CNC service for $750. A lot less expensive $ than a new set of aluminum heads.
He was not concerned that they had been acid washed. The X heads I have are currently on the car and just freshened by Brad VanLant in 2018 maybe 5000 miles on them and the rest of engine Most likely a touch would be a good idea while they are off the engine.
I do not currently have an MP 528, I would like to find a cam that is close to the MP528 maybe in a solid roller.
So the quest continues for the perfect cam. Ha LOL
Any suggestions would again be valued
