Stock 360 Upgrades for Crusher Cuda?

CrusherCuda said

Ok, these are the Comp options in the realm of conversation. All good for 3.91 gears and maxing out lift on stock rockers and pushrods. The only reason I keep going back to Comp Cams is the convenience of the complete package and out of the box specs compared to other brands. I am not concerned with cruising this car and getting ice cream. My 66 Mustang serves that purpose.

Here is what I’d suggest for you with the gear and headers you have.

271/271 224/224 .515/.515 LSA 106 ICL 104

What would you think about that. Same at .050 timing on the exhaust, but you gain 6 degrees on the intake lobe compared to the first cam you posted. You’d have more lift than any of the other grinds you’ve listed and .500ish lift is nothing. I put on a 106 LSA so it will help with bottom and middle torque and horsepower and it won’t want to RPM past 5700-5800 RPM.

That’s what I think you should use. Of course, that isn’t an off the shelf cam and right now it’s 6-8 weeks out. The end payoff is much better with this grind IMO.

As an FYI it a Howard’s lobe. To order it you tell them you want: HM224450A/HM224450A 106 + 2 and that will get you that grind.

Im not a fan of slow lobes when you have a .904 lifter and you can make use of a faster lobe. I’m not saying you need a ball crushing, dong beating lobe. I think you’ll be better off with a bit quicker .904 than the slower stuff.
