406 Cam specs. w/ acces.

I am running a 230/238 hyd roller. I am thinking of increasing the cam slightly and am wondering what people are running. I am running A/C, P/S and P/B without a canister. I don't want to have to run a canister. Thanks for any of your help. (Please include whether your running A/C or not) thanks

See sig,not much difference but no trouble with factory brakes nonetheless.Wanted to do the same thing,more cam, but the cam companies steered me away from it unless I wanted to lower rearend gearing as more duration would kill some of the torque. Our cars are heavy and it would probably slow it down as a result according to Comp and Lunati. Call your favorite manufacturer and see what they say.

Your car`s fast,any more details?

I have a ways to go to catch up with you GP406Z. 11.2 is on 125hp nitrous. engine:406 6" rods, 10.2 comp, crane hyd. roller, miniram, 700R4, Nitto DR, I enjoy driving the car racing is alright and good to measure what I'm gaining. I did Dual 3" ovalized tubing exhaust too, not much of a gain. Are you running A/C?

No A/C,no p/s either.It`s mainly a weekend/fair weather car that is still streetable,I can still legally pass emissions inspection which determines how far I go with the engine.Sure miss the ole 700r4....if they could only hold up!

Keep us posted about your cam findings
later
