This is the cam he thinks would be great for me. He asked me to find out my cylinder pressure and told me the smaller cam will incease cylinder pressure from whatever I have now, he hopes it to be at 185psi with the smaller cam. I will see what I get when I test it.
It seems the main reason he didnt like the other muscle car cam is because it trades off ecomomy for idle.
These cams are designed to provide a very aggressive, "Muscle Car" idle without all of the draw backs of big cams. They sound big and bad but are still tame enough for cruising and car shows. They will provide explosive power, off idle. Great for stop light to stop light cruising or just for showing off at the car shows! They sound bad to the bone just like the muscle cars of yesteryear but with awesomely quick throttle response. They will not produce the full power of our "real" Chrysler cams but they sure sound like they will. These cams have fast rate of lift, but the lower total lift will somewhat limit the rates. With the lower total lift, the valve guides will not need to be shortened so the cams can be installed without removing the heads for machine work. They can be used with stock rockers, stock length pushrods and stock torque converters.
Previously only available by custom order, these cams are now available in our three most popular hydraulic cruiser, car show type grinds. These cams are designed to be used with our 1110 spring in the Small Blocks and our 1105 spring in the Big Blocks. You can use either our 5001 or 5003 lifters.
