340 528. Purple cam question

241 @ .050 on a 112. Nuff said.

Also, keep in mind, when comparing a solid to a hydraulic, the solid will "act"about 10* smaller, so to compare apples to apples here, that .528 now is lookin more like 231 @ .050. ......on a 112. Not to mention the mysterious fact that Mopar cams rarely stack up to their specs on a degree wheel.

Still think it's "too big"?

Hardly.

If that was directed towards me;
Respectfully;I didn't say too big. I said "That cam is IMO,a lot more cam than you need for 375/400".
And for a streeter putting the power in the heads, means you can run less cam and less gear, which translates to more miles driven on the same dollar of gas. To me that was very important, as the car was to be a DD, and to prove it I racked up more than 125000 miles in about 10 years.
To buy a cam because it's available cheep, is somewhat foolhardy. Now you're stuck trying to make it work.
