I have built several 496's and I have two in the works now for my new boat.
Just my advise, 110 center line you might have problems with reversion. I run 9.5 compression with aluminum heads, if you are running iron you better have good gas. I run 91 and have not had a problem.
I would still advise using RMBUILDER I buy all my cams and lifters from him. WELL worth the $$$$

Good luck

496
 
Ok so I got a 454 stroked to 496, Eagle parts 9.5 alm. dart pro 1s 310 cc elderbrock air gap 750 demon. What is the best HP and TRQ being built using these parts ? What is max safe RPM? What cam are they using? What exhaust? What fuel pump?

I just went through all this if you are curious search Tech Q&A forum for "Roller Cam upgrade". I used RMbuilder for my cam and valvetrain and highly recomend him. The best service I have found. Not the cheapest but worth the money.

cams
 
is anyone familiar with the Teague Marine cams? Just curious as to the specs of their stage 2 and 3 cams. any input or specs would be great.
Thanks,
John

Just go straght to bob. He will speck the thing for the boat, not just something off the shelf. It really doesn't cost much more in the long run.

I second Bob as well. He is doing my cams and valvetrain as we speak.

what does the cam card say? No way you are buying a cam without a card? Are you?

I wouldn't think they would sell one without a card either?

never mind. some times i am just curious as to cam specs and what all is out there and available. i have expermented with many including custom grinds however i haven't used any of Teagues and was just curious. they can perhaps answer the question. some how i must not have explained what i was looking correctly. my bad...

I think I knew what you were looking for, it would seem that if you called and asked them they would give you the specs.
