The cam I got is a special grind taken from the specs that Don uses for his 351's, but has a slight change and higher lift because of it being a roller and because my new engine is a 446 Dart block stroker ( the 100 extra cubes requires more lift to do the same thing according to Comp). I think it's a 232-236 with .566-.571 lift. Comp says it'll hit really hard before 2,000 RPM and run out around 5,500 with the peak torque at 3,500 and peak HP at 4,000-4,500 RPM. I'm excited to see what it will do. It's quite a change from the last cam in my 393. I'm not sure what configuration the Iron Eagle block has. I was hoping to run stock Ford roller lifters, but couldn't in my last engine....the lifter bores were too low and short. I had to run crane lifters with connecting link bars. I still have them if needed, but like the ease of the Fords with the valley pan.
I plan on using the brush with the cam as Don suggested the other day on the phone even though Comp seems to have cleaned up their act quite a bit with the new gears.
