I have a question for a lot of you, especially in regards to the above post where it’s stated that the 744 cam is fairly mild.

I have had all the factory cams in one of my 9.5 to 1 400 motors but for the 744 cam.

Ok so now I need to ask about my info I posted here from old HO racing recommendations.

As you can see they called for 3.90 gears to be run with the 744 cam in a 400.

How many agree that in a 9.5 400 motor the 744 needs a 3.90 gear to get it done right?

When I stuffed the 041 cam in my 400 above I used Rhodes lifters due to my 3.55 gears I had in the car and the motor performed well once oil temp came up.

The 068 cam was fine without the Rhoads lifters and with the 3.55 gears.
