The Hughes 232* cam in mine is just about too much for me. Actually it is too much, but with the tranny pkg and gears I have worked out,and the untold hours of tuning,its acceptable.
But I will say this, the Hughes HE2330(223*), was a waaaay nicer street pkg. Way more off-idle torque,generous midrange, and power enough to run 106 in the qt.Excellent throttle response,Smoke the 275s,Cruise all day, Get fuel mileage in the high 20sUS,Never overheated, Drive it anywhere,All the time,DD.
Even in 99, no one could help me with Dcr. Most had never heard of it. I had to dredge my memory-banks to come up with the trig. to create the formulas, to calculate the Dcr. And of course there was no empirical data to suggest what Dcr worked with what fuel. I was on my own. I had to back-engineer from magazine articles that had proven to work. When I set that motor up with a 9.2Dcr, I was fully prepared to have to go to water injection.By the time it was built, Manitoba was oxyginated pump fuels only.
I was very pleasantly surprised, when it ran full-load/Wot at 36*,without detonation,on 91. I was even more pleased to find it accepted 87E10.
That 223* cam was advertised as a fast-rate cam, before there was anybody else advertising that. I have no idea what the advertised duration was. It idled like a stock 340 cam or even smoother. I remember being disappointed that it sounded so tame. But boy-o-boy,only-time-out-106mph seemed really fast to a guy whos highschool car(nearly new stock 340Swinger) ran
