So the motor builder got back with me today and long story short I got screwed on the cam I bought...not even close to what I was told it was and its not even a roller cam...flat tappet according to comp...sooo that's all I'll say about that lol

Moving on..

454 based...030 over
dart iron eagle heads with 120ish cc chamber
JE flat tops..shooting for 8.5:1 comp
eagle rods
CMI headers
I'll post a pic of exhaust but its dry to tips I believe
If not this year next year it will have a 6-71 blower at 6-7 lbs boost
right now it will have a 256 blower at the same 6ish lbs but I'd like to build it for the 6-71 as that's the overall plan
dual 800 holleys


What I'm looking for in a cam...

Obviously the best performance without sacrificing a few things
I want it to give you goosebumps when I start it
I want a good attitude around the dock..no stalling or having to feather it to keep it running
Not sure if reversion will be an issue..I'll post a pic of the exhaust
RPM range will probably be 5600ish maybe a little more..don't want to twist it too hard especially with the 256

So lets hear some suggestions guys....

Custom grind?? from who??
off the shelf??
I know the 731 is suggested a lot but is there a better option for my build??

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks!!

I'd do the 741 over the 731 if you plan on going with a bigger blower at a later date. Not that I have any science behind it, but I believe there a many builds on here with the 741 blower combination and it makes good power.

I'll look into that thanks!! that's a crane 741 right?? also will that work in a gen 5 or whatever mine is with a cam button or do I have to upgrade to run the step nose with that cam??

this one is the 139021 and specs are slightly smaller than the 741

this one is very close to the 741 and is the crane 139671

both of these will work in my engine from my research as the 741 is a step nose and requires the retainer plate

opinions??

BBYSTWY

the 139671 has a 114 lobe separation...is that too much too little?? not a cam master here clearly hahhaha need some advise on these numbers because I kinda know what they mean but not really lol
