BLOWN street 392 hemi what is the best blower/cam

[cylontymany]

Hi, I am building a blown street 392 hemi and i am trying to decide which is the best blower/cam combo. i am going with a hydraulic set-up. should i use an 6-71 or 8-71?

Depends on what you wanna accomplish...a good daily driver? Mild. A three MPG lumpity-lump, overheating bear to drive...go wild! Most Hemi's run great with a mild cam...don't forget the BLOWER GETS THE HP!!! Check with the Dyer's, BDS and the other full-time blower shops that sell cams...don't forget the cam people...they are the real experts! You'll get so many dufferent opinions (like mine) from amateurs...ask the pro's!

Call comp cams tech line and get them to give you a cam profile based on what you tell them. I have a nice mild blower cam for a solid lifter engine for the street.

Comp cams is cool. I just ordered a Mopar pacific cam profile the XE285HL for my 340. I realize that this is totally different than what you are running, but they do have 392 cam cores to grind to you specification. The early hemi and the small block and big blocks share the same lifter diameters. That is where they are making them for mopars only. I'll probably have them make one for my 392 and the littler ones when I get a chance. I've read in Mopar Mucsle magazine that the MM-series solids are real close to being like rollers and their mopar pacific grinds from Comp. Let us know what you decided. Don't get me wrong the Isky and Crower both are good brands. I just don't know if they are mopar pacific or not. It may not mater seeings your talking blower. Good luck with the project!

what is good for a 030 over 354 hemi?

671 or the smaller 471? and any other specifics?

Id run a 6-71 and prob with around 8 to 1 and even 6 lbs will put u at about 11.3 final. Call Robert at Howards Cams as they have built early stuff since Howard was alive.Im not much on Comp Cams,but i do like their lifters.
