408 Magnum Stroker Build...cam selection

While you try to be helpful your often insulting and belittling without realizing it. Not ever build has to be precise and built to the maximum.

Yes! Sometimes good enough Chevy lobes will do just fine. Rocker geometry off? Sometimes it will just have to do.

You can bash the issue, the OE poster, me and anyone else that has an opposing opinion or lack of money to “Do it your way, the right way, or be bashed and ridiculed to death but in the long run, your not helping.

Sometimes, is just getting it going....


It’s not in the ditch. You just don’t like the answers you’re getting. I very rarely ever suggest a cam out of a catalog. Ever. Too many compromises and since I joined this forum that has been what I have suggested.

If you already know what you want why ask here? I have never liked any Comp lobes in those families.

Your lack of converter makes cam selection even more critical.

Do what you want. Just don’t get pissy becuase you don’t like the answers you’re getting.

BTW, if you’ve read much around here you’d know I HATE hydraulic lifters. For very slow, soft lobes they are fine, but start getting agressive and they make noise and all that. And I’ll add in I’m not a fan of stud mounted rockers. I get the ease of the magnum block and hydraulic rollers it the draw backs just aren’t worth the squeeze to me.
