Which Cam? Footbrake / Street 462 BBC 71 Split Bumper
Which hydraulic roller camshaft do like for 620 hp open plenum intake, 4500 converter 10.5:1 compression pump gas BBC 462?

Clay Smith or Crower? Confused

Gonna call Bullet Cams tomorrow, see if they have a similar in a Ultradyne grind, or something they like on the shelf. I'd really prefer something I could get away with a 3700 converter with a open plenum intake, and it still be around 620 hp @ 6000 rpm's -lower peak torque rpm's.

Either of these camshafts are close.

The converter is the compromise because the car is a street car / footbrake car. Be a joy ride with a 3700 converter on the streets light to light. Not so much light to light 4500 converter, I wouldn't think.

Pulled the trigger on a hydraulic roller camshaft today.

It's a pretty wild grind, I think. The engine should make 600 hp @ 6,000 rpm's. Peak torque 4200 rpm's

620 570

237 241

For anyone who it pertains, not in the know. This is the PF 35 oil filter AC Delco stopped producing.

3 pack for $12 bucks.
