A friend of mine with 406 small block in a 65 Chevelle needs a cam recommendation from the "real pros" :beers: It's a weekend cruiser with appox. 10:1 CR. Turbo 400 with a 2400 stall converter and 3:55 gears. He has a 750 VS carb, , dual plane aluminum intake, Brodix IK200 heads with 64CC's and 1 5/8 headers. He needs enough vacuum for power brakes.
He wants to run a hydraulic flat tappet cam (I know ) So far Comp Cams tech said to run a XE284 (240/246 507/510) Thier own website recommends a 2800+ stall for the XE284, so I don't know why they would recommend it The next smaller cam XE274 is 230/236 duration, 490/490 lift which I thought would be a better fit if using a Comp XE.
I prefer Lunati, so my suggestion would be the Vodoo 60103 which is 227/233,
.489/.504
What do you guys think of these choices in this 406?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Mike
