who is running a big hydrolic cam? anything bigger than a 244/244 .612/.612 on a 112lsa. I am building a 427 and the budget can't handle a solid roller conversion right now. I know the S1 cam is proven to make good power, but seems kinda wimpy for a big cube motor. Any one running a hydrolic cam in 25x/.6xx range or bigger? Dyno #'s and track times please if ya got them please. Just wondering how big you could go with a max effort hydrolic set-up, and no this isn't a daily driver, lol

Mine isnt that big.
244 250 .634 .625 112lsa but I only have a Lunati stroker and not a big bore.
I am getting gears next week and MIGHT switch to something a little bigger.

What's funny is that at the time people thought the R1 was a big cam! Folks thought I was nuts when we went to the S1.

wish I had dyno number or track times for you but I was trying to deal with comp cams about ordering this custom cam 250/256 .620/.626 112 LSA but had no luck for alittle over 1 month
I finally got a hold of someone that knows there stuff. So I will have a cam close to that soon. I only have 410ci and if I had a 427 I would try to go even bigger. I know theres proven cams out there but I want to try something different and try to step it up to the next level like these guys are doing with those lil 346's
