I'm assuming you didn't keep the "Cup" camshaft. So what did you do for cam profile & type ?

No worries. This thread is a quagmire for sure.

It was not a cup camshaft to begin with. I purchased the motor used and we decided (were forced to) fix or redo quite a bit. The cam that came with it (Bullet) was in good shape and had pretty decent specs (but not ideal) so we are starting out with it. The plan is to upgrade the cam after my 2-3 year refresh (depending on usage) and rev it higher. But first thing's first....

Here are the specs:

264/274 @ .050
.390/.390 @ lobe
.663/.663 net lift with 1.7/1.7 rockers
113 LSA

This cam with the motor mostly as is (minus the head work, dry sump, E85) "supposedly" made 730 something hp below 7000 rpm and 610 or so ft lbs at around 6000 rpm.

We will know soon enough.
