Cam Selection 496ci
 

This is my plan for my engine build. Its going to be 50% Street. I want to be able to drive it to the strip and to car shows and such...be able to cruise around 60mph on the highway if needed... :D Looking around mid 600 lift and .245 duration @50...??

I am running power brakes and power steering....trying to pull 12inches+ of vacum....think its possible? Later on down the line I plan on throwing a bigger cam in to really take advantage of the heads..

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I have a perfect cam I get ground by comp for marine applications, for 509's, where the 502 Hp 500 engines I turn into 509's. Its a Comp Hi-lift hyd roller, .647 lift, 248 at .050, 112 lobe sep. 509 inch, mildly ported Dart Iron Eagle 308cc heads, Dart intake, modified 830 carb, make 670hp and 640 ft/lbs on pump gas. This cam also works very well for street engines. Idles well, and makes good power.

Whats the operating range and where did it peak out?
