Stroker specific cams?

It's all dependent on the combo. I've played with desktop dyno for years. I know there are some who think it's bullshit, but the better info you put in, the better the info that comes out. And without fail, on certain combos, especially mild builds, a wide LSA wins out every single time below 5000 RPM and that's where 90% or more of a street engine's time is spent. Yes, it's not as much of a peak torque number, but it's a flatter curve with more available torque, for a longer time, in some cases a lot longer time.

As I and many others including yourself have said many times and it falls upon deaf ears with all the "gurus" it all depends on what you're doing. My rule has always been look at all the factory high performance engines. Except for VERY few exceptions, the camshafts were ground on wide LSAs like 113-116 AND THEY WORKED and worked very well. Most times for a street car, the farther away you get from that recipe, the worse of a "street car" you end up with.

But of course, like I said, you caint tell all that to people who've done it all and know it all.

Honestly that is one of the reasons I think the Bullet cam recommend is not a bad choice. It is not far off from the Howards cam, and that has a very nice street curve. I don't have the desk top dyno, but use CamQuest 6 for fun. While it uses Comp only cams, it does let me look at different curves, even if they are not for a Mopar. Chris at Bullet has been at doing cams for a long time, and has a good following from those who know him.

FWIW..... Personally, that Jones cam has my vote if want that .050" lift duration to be around 230. The reasons that Wyrm and YR give for the LSA being OK narrower IMHO may not hold 100% with that .006" duration... but IDK honestly. The vacuum estimate says it will be decent (not factory smooth idle but a small rumble), and that sounds good for the MAP sensor to work well in the EFI system. DCR is in the upper 7's so ought to be OK on pump fuel.



It has a middling aggressiveness to the ramp out of that list. So that seems good for longevity, which seems of value in your cruising use.

BTW your open valve spring pressure in your list to Jones is about 300 lbs high!

Let's see..... roller rockers on a shaft (TF heads), lift over .550", heavy valve train (rollers)..... you may want to look into your valve train geometry. I don't think any big correction (if any) is needed for lifts under .500" and lighter valve trains and lower RPM ranges. So its probably not gonna be of any consequence to you for your lower RPM use. But if you rev it up, then it may become an RPM limiter.


Jones gave the same lifter lift in and ex: .564" without geometry losses. (1.6 rocker ratio)

I plan on running a geometry correction kit from B3 Racing. I may not need it at this level of cam, but it can't hurt.The last thing I want to have is a spring killer for a street car.
