I have a camshaft for a /6 which was described as similar to a hemi EH20 cam. Supposedly .450 lift 220 duration and 110 center. Does this sound right and is it an appropriate choice for a street machine, quick but not crazy? |

The numbers you gave us sound reasonable, do you have a "cam card" with more info.? Do you know who ground the cam? Any special part numbers stamped or engraved on the face of the rear journal? DD |

Thanks for your reply, DD. I ordered the cam from Don Gould at FBO, who also curved my distributor (electronic Ignition). I know it was ground in Baltimore if that helps. I'm pretty sure I didn't get a cam card, and Don doesn't remember. Not a big deal, since I got a good vibe from Don; that he was matching various components. All this cam talk made me curious. The numbers I posted were from notes I took during a phone call with Don. I already installed cam and new timing chain. I'd be out in the driveway today, but wind chill is below zero. Summer is for driving! |

The best thing to do at this point is to degree the cam, put 4 degrees of advance on it, and run it. DD |

if the cam was ground in baltimore it is a 99% chance it was done by racer brown down on philadelphia rd he is the only one in this area that I have found to even touch a slant six cam if you know when it was cut he might remember cutting it if you want I have all his info if you want to call him |

Thanks RR7169, that sounds easy enough. All this cam talk has me interested. It sounds like some like a shorter exhaust duration and some don't. I don't ever go real fast in my /6 convertible, not since I rolled a Toyota truck on Storrow Drive at rush hour. Saving up for a roll bar. |

Just talked to Racer Brown as you suggested. He remembered the order and gave me the numbers: 254 deg duration @ .18" and 226 @ .50" (max lift) and 108 deg seperation, 105 centerline. He suggested, like DD a 3-4 degree advance. |
