i love the sound of a pushrod motor camming. i want to make my 95 5.0 cam hard but still have good driveabilty? comp has a .613 lift cam but its a solid roller cam. what is the down side of using a solid roller cam on the street? what would you suggest for a good cam for what i want to do?

LOL......IF ALL YOU WANT IS IT TO LOPE... then pull a plug wire...........to have a cam like you mentioned, you must have supporting mods

wow... .613? thats huge dude.(for a street car) you probably wont get that in with any stock 302 bottom end.

i notice your name has 347 in it. what are you currently running? to give us a better idea of what to suggest for you.

drawbacks to solid roller, periodic RR adjustment and excess cam bearing wear.

tell us what your current setup is and what your goals are. i wouldnt suggest running a solid cam on the street

Guys, stop posting madness. Yes this guy has no idea what he is doing and therefore thats understandable, but as far as frequent adjustments and cam bearings issues, this is 110% false. Now if you have run solid roller stuff on the street by all means what was your experience? I have for the last 12 years.

mah bad, just going off of what more experienced persons, more than myself, have said many times over. the more trustworthy people on here that is.


btw, ive never seen/heard what you run woodsy. i just know you build engines.

i just got the car it pretty much stock. i will eventually build a 347 stroker but for now just going with H.I.C change. i have the victor jr heads and a trick flow track heat intake ready to put on just not sure what cam to get to give me the sound i want there is alot to choose from. im not looking to make alot of horsepower just be able to have a 12sec street car.

victor jr's wont fit
.613 wont fit

Victor Jr.'s will fit, but the camshaft selection gains more importance........ if performance, not sound, is among the goals. LUK
