Dyno testing a stock(?) 1972 440

Whiplash and thmprs aren't anything new. Been doing the same thing with cams for a lot of years in low compression engines. You get a 108 or shorter LSA and smack it in ahead at 100. Tricks the engine with increased cylinder pressure. Plenty of low compression 360's run damn well with a 284/484 in at 100. And I'm sure the peanut gallery will say what about fuel economy or some other stuff. If you want fuel economy, stick with the stock stick. It's about making things work with what you have.

If you think that you'll get a 420 lift cam with shorter duration to run with a 484 installed at 100-102, Ummmm NOOOOO!!!!

Yes, I think it was Crower who started the Whiplash and Thumpr style cams.....Was it the Hydraulic Hauler line? I cannot remember....it was one of Crower's lines. But they had a wide split, narrow LSA much like those type cams now, but 50 years ago. Crower has always been at the top of the pack far as I'm concerned.
