voodoo 60303 cam ?

[69chargerR/T]

Thinking of installing this cam in 440 with stock 906 heads, I read some ware on this site that valve lift over .510in that the valve retainers may hit valve guides?? The voodoo 60303 has an exhaust lift of .513in am I ok with this cam with out doing any mods. to valve guides Intake lift is only .494in so I should be ok there. Also how can I check the clearance between the retainers and guides,I think the valve springs I have have a damper spring inside spring how will I be able to see the clearance between the retainers and guides Or should I go with my second choice engle k56 I think I would be good with that one, intake and exhaust lift is .504in, also do I need to check the clearance on that one to      


                             Thanks, Alan

Same cam i want for my stock 452's.  And same worries about going over 510 lift.

No worrries guys. The .513 lift is close enough to .510 that it's not an issue. 

Now if it was .530 i'd be doing some trimming

     Thanks Ron, I thought .513 lift would be ok just wanted to check to make sure  Getting 750dp this week will be putting on this weekend can't wait will be getting cam in a couple weeks, thanks for all your tuning help and cam help 

                                                                                                                          thanks, Alan




     PS: If I set cam strait up will it be ok If not I will need to buy a cam degreeing kit no one I know has one. Who makes a good one is the summit one ok I don't want to spend much cause I will probably never use it again. Also need TDC tool so I can check TDC with heads on.

Alan, i prefer to degree the cam in.    That cam card will call for a specific installed intake centerline and you want to make sure it's where it's supposed to be.  The Summit kit is fine and don't worry because this will probably not be the last cam you degree in !  Your buddies will be calling you for help once you become a master cam installer.....don't ask me how i know 


Good luck and ask if you have any questions.

Ron,

I'm still considering this Voodoo cam even though you thought the next one down was better since I have a stock converter.  I'm also looking at the Crower HDP 271 now.  Could you give me your opinion on this Voodoo vs the Crower HDP 271 when paired with a set of 452's with a valve job and 2.14/1.81 valves?  I may put a 2400-2500 stall in at some point but not before I replace my cam. (3:55 gears and 1 3/4 headers)

I really like the duration split on the Crower, and I don't like the split on the Voodoo that was one down from the 60303...I believe it was 220/226 @.050.

Thanks,

- Doug

Doug, both of those cams are good choices. The Crower will have a little better cylinder scavenging due to the longer ex. duration. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either cam.....both will work fine with a stock converter. I used the next bigger Crower (HDP-282) grind and really liked it.
