My 422 smallblock build

Ok. So I’m at the point in this build that I need to order a camshaft. I’ve already reached out to a few cam grinders for their recommendations and have heard back from Jones, Crower, and Oregon. Their respective numbers are pretty close so I kinda know where I wanna be but I thought I’d like to put it out to you all to see what your recommendations are.
For a little background on the application, this is a street/strip build with 75% street and 25%strip. Absolutely zero freeway driving.
72 Duster approx. 3300#s(not verified), 2.66 first gear A833, 3.91 rear, 28” tire.
422” smallblock with long valve W2 race heads (flow stalls at 266cfm @ .550”) 2.08/1.60 valves, 1.5 iron rockers, dual plane Mopar intake, 950 Holley HP, 10.75-1 compression.
I’m looking for a solid roller with a sweet spot of about 2500-6500 rpm that will not need ridiculous amounts of spring pressure. Idle quality is not important, vacuum not important.
Ok guys, give me your thoughts/recommendations/warnings.


My first suggestion is you need to NET .650 lift. There is no reason to keep the lift down. Let the heads do the work.

Second, you can be in the 244-246 at .050 duration range on a 108, or because you have a stick you can move up to 250-252 at .050 and close up the LSA to 106.

And whatever you do, do NOT let the cam grinder convince you to reduce the intake duration and add exhaust duration and then blow out the LSA to make it pull upstairs. That's a sure fire power killer.

I suggest you get the April 2020 Hot Rod magazine and read from page 73 on. Billy Godbold explains a lot of things I can't do here.
