I have a 75 duster with the 360 HP engine. Will 1 of these cams pick up the low end power very much. Is ther other ones ground like the whip I will be putting on a Holley street dominator intake as well. Thanks. Kim
Dave at Hughes also was trying to sell me one of these cans. He said because my engine has low compression but I tried to explain to him that the compression was 9.7 to 1 on a magnum engine. Something tells me that there might be a better cam without so much lope maybe a 110 instead of 107 I don't need that much lope I need performance and fuel economy not so much the sound. Any help would be greatly appreciated before I drop $400 on a cam...
I always loved the sound of that cam.the specs on the SMC 1326AL are 213/226/109+5....with lift (1.5 arms) of 480/.516
That cam has a long seat to seat period to idle like a race cam.
That cam has short 050 period to reduce the operating rpm.
The late opening intake will reduce your Dcr some, so it will need hi-compression to work well. The power-extraction cycle is also reduced, so don't expect much in the fuel mileage department.
It will have excellent torque, and the 109 LSA+5 will carry the power quite far up the rpm scale, especially with good heads.
This is a good cam to use if, A) you need to get rid of some cylinder pressure, and B) you want to sound racy.Some guys like that.
213/226 is mighty conservative.
I installed one of Hughes very torquey 223/230/110 cams with 1.6 arms on Eddies.(367 cubes) Hardly any noticeable lope. Unbelievable SBM torque, spun to 7000, and pulled fuel-mileage deep into the 20s. There was no downside to this cam, except it didn't pull as hard after 6000, as the 292/292/108,508 cam it just replaced.
This whiplash adds the racy idle
If your cylinder pressure is adequate, it could be a fun cam.
The OP mentions picking up the 'low end power' AND using a Holley Street Dominator intake. That intake isn't for low end power, is it?I have a 75 duster with the 360 HP engine.

So I guess the next question should be;
under what circumstances do you feel it is soggy?.
