Cam Choice

I've run Comp, Lunati, crane, Erson, isky.... they are all pretty much the same IMHO. Find a grind that would work and run it. For this type of build, you could run a Lunati 60402 or 60403... another good camshaft. You may have to machine the guide to insure no interference when increasing lift. Just a requirement to play the game.

One place I would spend a few extra dollars is to get the 273 adjustable rocker arms and decent pushrods. That decision opens up more potential cam choices.

I've run a 274 with stock rockers and it's right on the edge. Stock style rockers don't like more than ~300# open pressure. As moper noted, once you get past that point, they start to pop apart. The nice thing about the 268 is that it use a simple single spring/damper set up and not a double spring. Thus no machining required to the head for the springs.

You can find 273 rockers for as little as $50/set. I've seen sets advertised here for that price.

The build Haney mentioned should get you close to mid 12's. The westech dyno is a bit happy on numbers compared to others that were just about spot on for weight/mph computations. Build that engine and slap a Holley instead of the ede carb and you'd be in the 400hp range. Enough to go 12's.

I had trouble with Haney's link. Try this and go to the very bottom of the mopar section "340 Dyno derby"

It is almost like that article was written for me. Thats all I'm looking for. Thank you very much.
