Help pick camshaft for 426 blown hemi!!

[69charger440]

Hello everyone! We just purchased a 68 charger r/t with a 1966 426 hemi! The motor is stock stroke (3.750) with new Oliver rods, 8.5:1 Ross pistons, and new Mopar perforance crankshaft! It has Stage 2 head with max porting! Fresh from machine shop! It also has a brand new 871 BDS blower kit (complete). It also came with a roller camshaft and lifters, but I don't think the cams is right for a blower application! Here are the specs for the current camshaft.

.651 intake lift
.596 exhuast lift
282* @ 50*
104 lobe seperation

So I was wondering if you blower guys can point me in the right direction, so we can have a killer street machine!

BUMP!!!!

Well I figured out why that above cam is at 104 Lobe separation!!!! It was strictly for 1/4 mile for a blower!!! So Now i need some help on picking a mean street cam for our hemi!?!!?   

Here are some pictures of it!!!!

I've got a Hemi but no blower. No experience with one either.

How about calling Comp Cams? Their tech/sales folks have a pretty good reputation. 800-999-0853

They also have a forum at the Comp site, you should ask the same questions over there.

Here's a Comp Cam designed for blown Hemis. http://www.compperformancegroupstores.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CC&Product_Code=24-721-10&Category_Code=426HemiSolidRlr

114 or 116 lsa, 110 Intake C-Line

Get the Heads flowed, then Call a Tech for some specific Lobe imput as per the flow data.

Good advice...flow numbers will point you in the right direction 

My buddy has a 112* Lsa solid roller in his 440 with a split pattern 256/262 duration bumpstick. It runs great and is quite mellow on the street

Well the heads are ported all the way!!!!! The guy who owns it doesnt want to keep the cost down to a minimum. So he does not want to flow the heads!!!!   

I was thinking 112-114* for lobe seperation!!  And .625-.700 lift!!! Some where in that range!!!!
