I have an friend who has a 64 Buick special. He is a bit of a mad scientist ;) The car has a turbocharged 350 Buick with about 8 to 1 compression,forged pistons, pocket ported heads.stage 1 intake,a Holley 750HP,a 2004R trans with about a 2500 stall converter, and 3.73 gears.He has a boost controller and can range the boost from 6 to 14LBS. He guesses the car weighs about 3500 lbs. He figures coil bind to be at about .550 lift. He is looking for a solid lifter cam to compliment the range of boost. He doesnt want to rev over 6000 and would like to see close to, or over, 600 horsepower set on KILL.

Hoffbug,

This will be a custom cam, no doubt.....
I will give you specs for 2, and you guys decide. Is the .550" coil bind including, or not, the .050" minimum before coil bind? Is the max lift allowable .500" NET, or .550" NET?
Here are the 2 grinds:
282/272F14---248/238 @ .050, .536/.517 gross valve lift, .520/.501 net valve lift, 114 LSA, in at 110 ICL.
272/264F14---238/232 @ .050, .517/.501 gross valve lift, .501/.485 net valve lift, 114 LSA, in at 110 ICL.
Obviously, the larger cam will make more power.
The smaller one will make a lot.

Talk it over and let me know what interests you...

Thanks Harold..
Just a couple of questions...
Would there be any problems with the 114 LSA grinding through the heat treatment on the available cores for a Buick 350?
What rocker ratio are those lifts calculated at? 1.55 or 1.6? He has the T/A performance rockers with the 1.6 ratio.
What would I be looking at for $$$ on the 272/264F14. You can e-mail the Price quote if you like.
Thanks again, Tony
