    FMX;The cam you have is a decent cam shaft with great pulling power.
    So when I said I had to put a stall converter in it, this was not because the car would stall because it did not stall. It was that when you first hit the gas the car would slowly
    pick up till it hit about 20 mph. It would not even spin the tires. But after you hit 20 mph
    you'd better have a head rest because that Cam shaft would pull so hard it would try to throw your head out the back window. It got decent fuel milage but not the best but I was running a 780 carb too. And if your like me it's hard to hear something that sounds so good and not stick your foot in it once in a while. Thats why I put a higher stall so when I stepped on the gas and the car took off in the cams power band range all you seen was smoke and rubber because the car was all ready gone. Fuel millage you better step back to what Pat told you.
    Pat I didn't know you were a dealer for Erson, That's all I ran in my BB Dodges back in the day. I was trying to follow Big daddy Don's lead who you know used to race with Super Shops logo on his car and they sold Erson cams. Super Shops has long since gone out and closed thier doors, to bad good shop's. Now I need you to reccomend me a cam
    for a 400M ford engine. I used to run a TQ 30 in a 302. I believe it was a 228 @50 with a top rpm around 5500rpm's. I know that they don't make that same exact cam for the 400M but I would like to get as close to that as I can. It was also real lopy. Also what duel roller chain would you use with their cams. I don't remember the one they sold with thier cams. Thanks Kurt
