I doubt a 260-112 grind would win a cam shootout on the dyno in a flat top 440………but the winner would probably be a noticeable step away from the street friendly manners you’re likely experiencing with the current cam.

For a 99% street driven 440, I don’t see any real upside to a 4500 carb.

When Jim Laroy and I chatted about that cam, we picked it knowing HP would be left on the table in lieu of street manners and fuel friendliness, which is important to me.

Personally I think it's a little deficient in compression and pulling that LSA back would boost cranking compression and also boost the HP. But how far to pull it back and not impact street manners...

Swapping to 1:6 rockers was also an option.. Bigger cam without a bigger cam, and less work involved
