AJ, but I am going from memory; would you mind listing it for us?
The cam I used for that combo was
a Hughes HE2430AL, listed at 223/230/110@.050 and later revealed to be 270/276/110.. I used 1.6 arms so the lift was predicted to be .538/.549 ..The math shows
53*overlap. I ran this cam with Hughes HD snap-ring lifters at 1/2 turn preload or .020 IIRC, and with OOTB Eddies and
at ~185psi. And of course with TTIs and dual 3" full-length pipes.
For the Econo-run, I ran an old Holley 600 Vsec with a modded low-speed circuit. Cooling system running at 207*F, and IIRC, at that time I did not yet have fresh cold air to the carb. Tires were still 245/60-14s
I used 3.55s and the A833od box (.71od) with the GVOD operating as a splitter. Shifting at 2800 the rpm drop was about 600rpm between gears, and 65mph was about 1700rpm. A lot of the time traffic was flowing at 85 mph=2200. That same combo with nothing more than a carb-swap to a 750 DP, went 106@12.9 on it's one and only run.
With 53* of overlap, I was not expecting the phenomenal fuel-mileage it made. IIRC that combo vacuum peaked at just above 1800rpm. And plateaued for a long ways.
I bought that cam from the Hughes fast-rate hype (year 2000). In the end when they finally published the advertised to be 270@.008, that cam was actually a turd in terms of fastrate, the intake ramp being 270 less 223=47 degrees at .008 lift. Fast-rate myazz. Rated at .006 like a comp, that could actually be 276* or more, making the ramps 276-223=53*, making it a really slowazz turd, in my opinion. So when the lifters started clacking I just let them.
Despite this minor disappointment, that was a great cam, pulling hard into the 6s exactly like Hughes said it would; and I usually revved it to 7000, including on the 106mph run.
If I needed a cam today, hands down it would be a fast-rate solid lifter cam.And it would have a lotta overlap for it's size;
Cuz 95% of the time, my hotrod is doing less than 65mph and when it gets to 60 it is wound up tight in first-over@6400, having gone thru the power-peak twice, with a 1400rpm or less,drop at the 1 to 1od shift. If you have never heard a 367 screaming at 7000, thru dual 3" cannons from nearly a dead stop to 65 mph, well IMO, you really need to; it's only about 5 or so seconds, so try not to miss it,lol.I never hear the 295s howling. Is it loud? In the cab it is, but no one who has reported on it has said anything about loudness,lol. Not even the coppers who have pulled me over for misbehaving.
