Hughes cam?

Ok, but just keep in mind that the Mopar grinds being used were designed around the .904 lifter used by Mopar.
I don’t recall hearing of valve train failures on the performance Mopar engines, the same Mopar engines that would have had the faster ramp due to the .904 lifter that Mopar designed and specified.
The way I see it, Mopar designed in a larger lifter for a reason. To get a steeper ramp. They would have also designed valve trains to handle it.
And besides, it’s ramp speed, not opening and closing rates.

That's true, but they weren't as aggressive as something like Hughes, some of the Lunati and some of the Comp grinds. While they were Mopar specific, there were somewhere "in between" the old school slow ramps and the ultra fast ramps that are out today. I've seen comparisons on a degree wheel. I do really like the old Mopar cams. They may be "dated" according to some, but they flat out work. I'd love to find the 284 slant 6 cam. I'd run it in a second.
