Default What cam would you run?

Currently running 408 w/ 241 home ported heads, t56, bbk ssi intake, 11.2 comp., Pacesetter long tubes, and torquer v.2. Was dynoed by previous owner 465rwhp, 485rwt with 3" cat back and flowmaster 80 series muffler. Have recently changed to TSP true duals. I think this cam is a little small for a 408 leaving a little on the table. Would you upgrade the cam or leave it alone?

are you going to keep your heads? what intake are you using? asking for cam specs without knowing those things is like throwing a stone into a lake and hoping to hit a fish.

You could gain Hp, but I would say you'll loose a bit of trq, that is the trade off.
It all depends what you want to do with the ride. That is some good numbers, and nothing to be shy of.

My buddy runs a TSP "Giant" Cam (248/254 629/622 113) in his 402. He absolutely loves it and he dynos at 531.1 RWHP 481.3 ft/pounds. He Really loves the streetability of it as well.
