Default Hydraulic Roller Cams for FE

Ok, my engine's being rebuilt. How about some recommendations for a cam.

Here's what I have so far.
Shelby block, .040 over, stroker Scat crank, 454 ci
Oliver rods, Ross flat tops, 10.5:1+ CR
Edelbrock heads ported & polished w. larger valves
Dual plane intake port matched, Holley 750
Harland sharp roller rockers, Crane hydraulic roller lifters
Pump gas-93 octane!

Useage: 90% street, 10% track events
To be driven frequently, year round
Lumpy idle not an issue.

Cobra75 Hi Scott I am looking at going with the smaller crane roller cam. The motor I have is going to be a 484 or 496 Shelby I have the second motor due anyday now. 4.25 crank, BB chevy rods 6.70 11.0 compression and retard the cam -4 deg. Ran it on the 2000 dyno on the computor and have a large tork from 2000 rpm to 5000 and hp tops out at 6000 rpm. I have a 6250 chip in the MSD. This is about all the car can handle and still be controllable and fun with a motor that will last a couple of seasons without rebuilding every year. Watch the bearing clearances. I run tight because of that alum motor. Watch the piston to valve clearance with your cam. Let me know which one you buy. Rick Lake
