Good to hear. I’m sure my car probably weighs 1000# more but it should not have much trouble running an 11.50, which is all I can run without a bar in the car and I’m not interested in adding one.I shifted my 408 on 93 BP pump gas at 6400 rpm. .520 lift solid lifter cam, flat top pistons, 2.02 valve and it ran 9.80’s and never beat a main bearing out of it.

MP purple solid flat tappet cam 296/.557.Available in solid roller flavor?
Not scared at all, just don’t see the reason to use a manifold that is designed to produce power between 4000-8500when the majority of my driving will be between idle and 6500. Am I missing something here? If I planned to bracket race this car sure as **** I’d sell the dual plane and slam a Strip Dominator on it and hold it to the rug. I thought the dual plane would be perfect for my intended usage. Would a single plane make a few extra hp at max rpm? Almost definitely. Will the dual plane outperform from idle to 3500? I’m betting so.
For an off the self selection, I would look at this camI’d still be interested to hear your thoughts on camshaft specs.

I tend to lean toward the conservative side for a primary street application.
I believe this cam would let your heads work well, it may be a bit limited by your intake manifold.

Yup I dont know what rocker ratio the OP intends on using, but I was thinking 1.6 when I made the cam recommendation.That's pretty much what I called out and with a 1.6 rocker he'd have .624 gross which is not as much as I'd like but it's a damn but better than .58ish.
I am sure someone will build one for you, check with Bullet or Delta cams, or just run solid liftersAvailable in solid roller flavor?
Using 1.5 ratio Mopar ductile iron rockers.Yup I dont know what rocker ratio the OP intends on using, but I was thinking 1.6 when I made the cam recommendation.
I came up with .602 net lift with the 245 duration should make drive able power for the street and be fun at the track.
I like it, thanks for the suggestion.For an off the self selection, I would look at this cam

IMO the heads you have would be better suited for 1.6 ratio application to make better use of a good mid range cam. But hay if you got'em run'em.Using 1.5 ratio Mopar ductile iron rockers.
Yeah unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, I already have the 1.5s and I don’t want to drop $1200 on a new set of rockers.IMO the heads you have would be better suited for 1.6 ratio application to make better use of a good mid range cam. But hay if you got'em run'em.

From my big block dyno tests I see no reason not to run the dual plane with any of the cams mentioned. With a well executed dual plane I think you will be up about 3-5% in power in your cruising range and even @ 6,000 rpm. But I am getting old and my thinkin' may not mean crap.

Any thoughts on this one?

I have heard that the large cubic inch engines will actually make a cam “seem” smaller than it would in a stock displacement engine, effectively lowering the basic operating range by approximately 500rpm. Is there any truth to that?
