What kind of Cam to go with, 350 with vortec heads?

That is why the GM 350HP hydraulic cam used in the Corvette is considered the best street cam ever produced by GM and that was using the pathetic flowing fuelie heads. JMO Jack Number 1 if these are your choices. GM sells a vortec 350 with advertised 330 HP. This link shows the cam spec’s that they use. Is it a roller block?

What are the factory cam specs for a roller?

Already have hardened seats. Factory cam specs D- 240/248 L- 373/399 (same for roller?) I’ve heard that the factory springs can accomodate either a 450, 495, or 500 lift. Anyone know for sure?

What kind of car is a 318 Cam?

Came out of a 2bbl truck, put into 92 truck, performer, 600 vacum sec, XE256H and headers. Lots of low end grunt and highway passing gear pull, idles like a kitten. I broke in the cam with the stock springs then changed them, those stock ones are puny.

How much valve lift does a cam Hughes Engine have?

Using a 1.5:1 rocker ratio this equals .075″ valve lift. Any duration less than this has no effect on power. Understanding the duration at 0.050″ may seem confusing but the important thing that must be remembered is: as the duration at 0.050″ gets larger the camshaft gets larger and vise versa.

When to install Cam and tappets on Magnum engine?

With the Magnum versions, installing a cam and tappets should be done before the heads are installed because after the heads are installed, it is very difficult to install the tall, hydraulic tappets under the edge of the head. Of the major parts within the short block, the camshaft is substantially different between A-engines and Magnum engines.

How big is a valve lift on a MAX CAM?

Here is the short version. Out of the box, .480” valve lift, 350-400 HP dependant on the CR, cam, ring seal, oil control, blah, blah, blah. More than .480” lift cut the guides down to clear the retainers. Straight mill up to .060” safely, .080” with low CR of 10 to 1 or less. 0.100” is living on borrowed time.

How do you change springs on a MAX CAM?

Changing springs on the bench is as easy as pie- Rent a compressor from Autozone, compress each spring and slide out the locks. Compress new spring, put it on, slide in locks and decompress – a monkey could do it! You’ll want to match your new springs to the cam you choose – most cam MFGs suggest a spring for each cam.
