540 Camshaft needed
 
Hello All,
I'm looking to purchase a hydraulic roller cam for a Gen V1 540 engine but can seem to locate one. The engine is natural aspirated 9.5 with 305 AFR heads. Can anyone suggest or have a source for one.
Thanks
Jeff

I've got these in a NA 588 build: Bullet 244/250 112 .664/.663 They make power and sound great.

I highly suggest a 3/4 race cam for your application.
A full race cam might be a little much.

Also can contact Hardin Marine, they have a couple of real nice HP camshafts, be careful not to go wild and create reversion.
Here is what my buddy runs in his built 540 and I run in my 509. Comp Cams 01-775-8 grind # CBVI XR271HR-12
.591/.601 224/232 @ .050 112 LSA (off the shelf cam).
