As some of you know Im in the process (for the better part of 2 years, nickel and diming here and there) of building a big block 454 .030 over for my 66 Chevelle. I have spoken with quite a few people on here and always appretiate the individual help..Thanks much gentlemen. My lower end is done with a stock crank, stock rods, with upgraded rod bolts. Pistons are forged Ls6 repro's yeilding 9.75-10:1 compression. Im utilizing a set of 781 heads with street strip porting with larger stainless valves. Most likely a high rise dual plane intake, 750-850 or so cfm vaccuum sec carb, 2500-3000 stall convertor on a th400 trans and a 350-373 gear on 27-28" tall tire( carb, convertor and rear not determined yet). I am guessing when I say the car is approx 3700-3800 lbs with driver. Car will not be a daily driver, mostly street; occasional strip use, but need to have some street manners and run cool in Florida traffic.

So I was leaning heavily towards a hydraulic roller, but with flat tappet hydraulic Im already anticipating a 450-525 hp/ft lb motor.... without tubbing the car, so traction I would guess is already gonna be a feat. The added $ and hp of the hydraulic roller is just not necessary I think for what Im trying to achieve, so Im leaning towards hydraulic flat tappet.

So here is where it gets frustrating yet funny. Below I will list all of the cam recomendations I have obtained over the past 9 months or so. Funny thing is I give the same description to all whether they ask for it or not, yet some of these cams are quite a bit different from each other.

Please do comment! Comment on the ones you dont like, the ones you like or by all means suggest something different. Any input is much aprretiated by all experienced people on here. Thanks again to many on here who have increased my knowledge and taken time to reply before (Pat Mc, Johnny O, Tech etc etc)
