I would love to see 550 hp and torque on mine..

ok, so are you saying if using the edelbrocks instead of the trickflows i would need a more radical cam to make the same 550HP?
ok thanks for this info! Tell me the deal on needing a more radical cam with the edelbrocks to make 550 than the trickflows would need.. just want to learn.. Im GUESSING that the trickflows flow more air ootb than the edelbrocks so would need less cam to make 550 and the edelbrocks would need MORE cam to make 550? Is this correct or even close?Yes.
Unless you’re buying something used thats clearly “superior” to the TF head(and there isn’t much that comes to mind for this type of application).......
If buying new ........You can’t get to the level of flow, and overall quality/fit & finish of the TF for the same money.
You can spend more to get there..... but you won’t find it for less, unless someone is giving away free labor.
what brands? I have always heard about chrysler having a wider lifter and better to use a real chrysler grind blah, blah..In order to really exploit the TF heads, I’d use a SFT cam.
For 550hp, I’d be looking at something around [email protected], mid-500’s or so for lift.
The compression will go up about a point...... but you’ll gain quench.
So long as the cam doesn’t get “too big”, the v/p clearance should be okay.
As always....... it should be checked.

Something along the lines of a Lunati voodoo 30230742.
haha only 3..727Thats the kind of lift it takes to get to 550hp. I don't think your 4 gear tranny is going to like it.
weird..when i copied and pasted your part number it cam up with'Duration 288/296, Lift .586/.606, Chrysler Big Block', the .556/.586 sound more reasonable..lolWhere is the piston when the valve is at max lift?
My Lunati catalog shows the lift for the 742 cam is .566/.586
