comparing Hughes and Howard with comp or edelbrock or stock 340 or summit
= no contest on a 8:1 motor if you pick the right one
the first two win the torque contest
agree on the intake and TQ
340 cam on an 8:1 motor- you can make it work strip only with converter and gears but I would not want to drive it on the street
and btw the .904 Howard is just as easy on the valvetrain as a comp chevy cam- the larger lifter gives it more time to get where it's going
