ItBites or Keith-
What cam specs would you suggest that Ernie use? The reason I ask is that I am thinking about a cam swap and will have the same basic use as Ernie- mostly cruising in the 25-3500 range- and I am not happy with the cam I have now.

Right now, I have a 428 with a comp cam 292H cam (244/244 and .560). My general complaints with this cam is that it doesn't seem to have enough grunt down low, and not enough hp up top given the size of the cam- on chassis dyno peak hp was at 5200. And I would also like a somewhat smoother idle. Would a hydraulic roller work well for this application? What mods, if any, would I need to do to run a hyd roller? Cam suggestions?
