Hawards Roller Cam
Hi,
I'm just making up my mind which cam I should use,
has someone experience with Howards Roller cams.
Engine will get EDL-heads and later FAST EZ EFI, but now 800-carb.
Have already performer intake.
I want to have 3,70 gears in the back, 295/60 r15 tires, need PB and later TKO-600. I've now TH400.
Should be fore street use Stop sign racing ;-) but will be driven on strip 4-5 per year.
I want to shift between 5600-5800 rpm and have as much as possible of torque.
What do you think about this 2 Howards cams, will use them with the Howards roller lifter, are they to radical for the street ?
514825-10 NA 278 282 225 229 .560 .555 110 106 Hyd. Hyd. 1,4
1800-5600 Fair idle, Performance Street, broad usable power range.
514155-10 NA 286 286 233 233 .549 .549 110 106 Hyd. Hyd. 1,4
2000-5800 Choppy idle, strong low & mid range performance. 2500+ stall.

Hi Dancutlass,
I'm in contact with cutlassefi, he is a very very helpful person.
I only want to make up my mind and hear some other opinions.
Because I don't really know how much hp vs. torque I need for the street.
Sometimes less is more ;-)

I think it's not a question of what you "need" for the street, it's just a question of what you want^^
And what the TÜV says...have you thought about that already??

All I can say is Horward Cams has been around since the stone age.
You give some good information about your combo & goals but it's too incomplete and then combo changes, so I wouldn't even try to give you any cam recommendations.
Call Crane Cams and CompCams tech line and see what they suggest.
I'm not a BIG hydraulic roller fan, I like flat tappet cams.
