Hughes Whiplash Camshaft

This is the setup I truly want to run. I love the look of it. I am so happy to see that two factory air cleaners fit. it looks amazing. I am looking mainly for bottom end grunt. My little wagon is not going to be built to out run an ls or anything but I do want better red light to red light performance. I prefer more torque over hp personally. i have been looking at building a "long rod" /6 ever since I got the car from my brother. it is mostly all original and I really don't want to V8 swap it. I have fallen in love with the slant. I guess I need to just buy Dutra's book and do some more reading. I don't expect to have a super choppy idle but a little bump would be nice.

Sorry for being so late to the party in this thread, the fall was very busy for me and I was rarely logged in. The blue Dart and video are mine. I was/am very disappointed in that “Whiplash” cam.
I called their tech line and asked about it... saying I just wanted to maybe sound like it’s a 273 HiPo car while idling, not worried about anything else. The guy said “it’ll sound like a built 440”. Boy was I disappointed. I will say however that the combo does run good and has good drivability once warmed up (more on that in a minute). I can easily bark 2nd gear via a power-shift with the 4 speed and 3.55’s (as the 7.25 hangs on for dear life.). If you decide to run the duel Offy it looks really cool and draws a crowd but be aware that it’s a bi**h to cold-start when it’s below 50° or so. (Think tunnel-ram on a way over-cammed V8 with no vacuum in the winter). There is no easy way to run the chokes on the 1920’s on this intake unless you go with manual cables. Lastly to cover another point I seen in this post, there is a very small crossover between the plenums, about a 1/2”x 1” opening thats above the heat stove crossover. I’d hesitate to try only 1 carb at cruise, I’d think the far 3 cylinders might lean out and nuke themselves.
Hope this info is helpful
