What he said, Damn skippy! ^^^^^^^^^
Your sig below states:
Add a cam. This is what I purchased. The expected date is a mistake. I ordered it a few days ago and I was notified of it being shipped yesterday.
$165
Howards Cams 711451-08 Howards Cams Hydraulic Flat Tappet Camshafts | Summit Racing
Hyd lifters from Howard’s
$129
DODGE Howards Cams 91711 Howards Cams Performance Hydraulic Lifters | Summit Racing
Cam as you wish…. Keep the duration @.050 at 218 or less for a stock converter and you’ll be good to go no issues.
If your cam is larger than a 212@050, IMO, you’ll find a nice power increase with headers.
Doug’s or TTI’s are best. The typical street header is OK and if you use the cheaper header, I seriously suggest using the “Summit Brand” header with their 3/8 flange. They, for me, have fit the best. Also, there exhaust kit which requires minimal trimming.
$260
Summit Racing SUM-G9040 Summit Racing™ Headers | Summit Racing
$421
1972 PLYMOUTH DUSTER Summit Racing SUM-680144 Summit Racing™ Header-Back Dual Exhaust Systems | Summit Racing
You know have $25 left over for intake and exhaust gaskets.
You still need pushrods. The Hyd. Cam and lifters are cheaper than a roller cam outright and the pushrods are a variable price but should not be overly expensive, just make sure there oil through.
Comp roller cams are $489 & roller cams from Howard’s are $357 to $419 just for the cam alone. Though you’ll probably need nothing else since the Hyd roller and pushrod will be re used.
A little more expensive than $249 for the Hyd cam and lifter package. A $170 cheaper choice. A performance differences that the seat of the pants won’t notice if at all much. Your choice on where and how to go. But at $1,000 bucks to spend, I got pretty close!
The Summit Racing mufflers are good for an easy 440hp in which you will not be close to.
Do remember if you go with the cam I linked above or bigger, you’re in for a converter. KA-Ching! For surely spend the money on a good one or settle into a lesser effective converter off the shelf. But your going to need that stall.
