FWIW The only guys who actually ran fast with that cam in a 400 needed a minimum rear gear of 3.73 and a converter of 3000+ stall. Sixty8bird ?spl ran his 3800 lb car to 12.6X @106 so it can be a good performer. BUT he also ran the 1.65 rockers on it which makes it run like an even bigger cam.. He ran the Hughes 3000 converter with 3.73's and relatively short 50 series tires. JD
Not looking to go fast...just want a street cruiser that sounds good and has enough vacuum and a decent idle.
