Default HP500 cam???

Does anyone have the specs for the HP500 "blue motor" for the carb version as well as the EFI/MPI version? Thanks in advance.

Thank you VERY much guys. I read somewhere...I think...possibly on Teague on Tech that the Crane 139731 cam was the same as the HP500. I am trying to get my marbles lined up...again...thank you.

The 731 is very close to the 500EFI cam.

The 500HP carbed cam has a 110 lob sep and was a lot more prone to reversion.

Call Bullet Racing cams AKA"UltraDyne" and talk to Tim goolsby 662-893-8022 he will dial you in with the right grind your looking for they can grind the 731 if that's what you want or you can tell him what you have and want and he will come up with a custom grind that will run better than the ones your looking at.

We went with bullet in the 383's and picked up 4 mph just with a cam change, I can't say that with other cams we had made.
