Blykins,

I'm running that very same Isky cam in my 428. 10.25 CR, out of the box Edelbrock heads and the Edelbrock RPM manifold. Prior to this cam, I ran an Isky hydraulic with .565 lift. I like this solid flat tappet cam a lot. I have a noticeable improvement over my prior cam and it idles really well (if you like a nice lumpy idle). I regularly get people asking me what cam I'm running because they like the way it sounds.

Like you, I chose it because of how well Desktop Dyno said it would do in my application. There was one Crane cam and one Comp cam that showed slightly more HP but I liked the 108 lobe seperation on the Isky.

Now, as for actual HP/torque numbers, your guess is as good as mine. I haven't had my motor on a dyno. I might get around to putting the car on a chasis dyno later this summer.

Let me know your email address and I'll send you a spreadsheet with all the cams I Desktop dynoed.

Chris
