Interesting question. But to determine cam size / profile best suited to any application more questions need to be answered.
1. Calculated Compression
2. Manifold type
3. Head Flow Numbers
4. Final Gear Ratio
5. Car Weight
6. Tire Diameter
7. Carb. Size
8. Rod Length
9. Greatest % of Intended Driving Purpose: Street, Drag,Road Race, or ?
As it pertains to the cam you wrote about. Some general comments & questions.
1. Is this a solid or a solid roller?
2. Duration @ .200 lift?
3. If a solid profile: should run a 427 CID engine to 6500 RPM.
4. Rough Idle
5. Needs at least 10.5:1 Calculated Compression
6. 114 LDA works well with FE rod length
7. Install the cam 5 to 7 degrees advanced. ( Given the intake is ground centered at 110 to 112)
7. Overall: Wide power band with peak HP 6200 to 6500.
8. Idle: 850 Roller, 1050 solid.
9. Needs stout springs
10. A Closer LDA would give you more peak torque @ the sacrifice of lower CCC, idle vacuum, & peak HP.
Good Luck on your engine.
