468 big block and a 8-71 cam info
I’m building a 468 big block with a 8-71 dyers blower on it. It has 8to1 static with BB2 extra plus Brodie heads and will be run on pump gas. I am getting all kinds of conflicting information about what cam to use. It will be street driven only, 2500 or so miles a summer. It’s in a 72 nova with a 2.98 first gear Muncie and a 3.73 rear gear. Not looking for all out power 650 h.p. but will be driving it 3/4 days a week to work (30 mile round trip).I already have a Howard’s solid roller blower cam per a conversation I had with them. .680 lift I and E with 261 I and 269 E duration at .050. With a 114 Lisa.Then I talked with dyers and they told me no way on the cam. There recommendation was no more than .550 lift and 270/280 advertised duration and he said stay with hyd flat tappet cam. Then I called Howard’s back and was then told I need a 634I / 629E lift with 251I and 259 duration @ .050 on a 114 Lsa . How about some input and what have you been running and are you happy with the cam you have.
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
