hyd cam for 428
 

Looking for some help on a hyd flat tappet cam for a 428. I had been thinking about using a comp 282s but would like to find a hyd cam (maybe equal) for my build:
428 .40 over
10.4 comp
C4 heads, cj valves, ported & polished , heads flowed: 277 in, 193 ex @.600
not sure on intake...i have a c3 2x4 w/ 600 carbs (listed for sale on site) and will use if it doesn't sell. So whats the favorite hyd cam ??

I'm using a Comp Cams 270 H w/750 Holly vacuum secondary on an Edelbrock Performer RPM and 10.0:1 compression ratio, somewhat mild but for good street manners. I'm looking for a dependable engine that will run good all day long and in traffic.

How about a small hydro roller camshaft??
 

Saltshaker Jon any chance of talking you into a small hydro roller camshaft? KCR has a small one in the .550"-.570" They are all custom grinds. You have the right compression for them. If I can't talk you into a roller, the crane 501-533 is a great low end torque cam. I ran one for 5 years in a 452 motor. 368 hp and 448ft of torque with 9.2 compression and some mild head work. Car would run 12.5 at 108 in the 1/4 mile with a 3.31 rearend. Idle all day with a glass of water on the air cleaner and not lose a drop. I went up 1 size to the .533-563" hydro cam, little more power and a little lope in the motor. Stronger mid range. I went to a stroker 482 from Barry R. and the smaller hydro roller cam from crane the .587-.607" I have not had a chance to get the car on the dyno for the final tuneup but real numbers I am guessing is 470-480HP and 560-570ft of torque. I also have a KCR custom roller for my other motor,498 with a 633-633" lift. Hope to get this motor done over the summer. :rolleyes: Here's the thing, IMO and if you have a hydro lifter block and the problems with the changes of the motor oil and needing additives, most motors of today are running roller lifters. I would tell you that this is the way to go, IMO. You didn't say what you where going to use the car for, cruising,shows, autocross, roadracing, sunday cruising??:confused:. 1 more note, I retard my cams 6 degrees, there is a 4 degree built into the camshaft, this makes for torque in the lower rpms and only gives up a little HP in the top end. Chaplin just got his motor back with a roller cam, send a private e-mail and ask about how he likes it now. Rick L.

Ohhhhhh... Rick, there you go with dem "hydros" again.. sic 'em Ernie..;):LOL:

No need for a PM, I'll tell you right now . . . I love it :)

I had a nice 571 lift comp cams with 248 dur that I absolutely loved. In fact I think I may go back to it next time I tear my engine down. That set up made a ton of hp and torque. Oh yea, I run solid lifters with all my engines.

Undy Leave Ernie out of this.:rolleyes:He is happy and warm drinking his pineapple smooooothie;) His car runs good and is only .2 slower that it was with the hot motor. He is also getting over 10 mpg. :MECOOL: Just trying to help CONVERT a lost soul.%/:rolleyes:;):p Hydro are the way to go for street cars. Rick L.
