[Chrysler300] do i have to use teh 268 cam???????

[greektruck@xxxxxxx]

i am looking for a definative answer if someone can help me please...........
i have a short ram 300k, it needed an engine so i put the original in teh 
garage and built a 440. (yes, i am the same running temp question person)  just 
of the engine is a .030 440, 10.25 compression, balanced blah, blah, blah. 
edelbrock alum heads, factory ram headers. and a solid factory spec very very 
small 268 .450 ish lift solid cam.
she runs strong. no complaints, well one, the small cam sucks. pardon my 
greek. 
i had it dyno'd, installed in car, and she makes good power considering the 
severe power loss through teh automatic. sorry, off track here.........
i wish to put in a 280 int. 290 exh., 480-490  lift cam in. less torque but 
still enough to move my chubby little girl, and the rams help first gear torque 
anyhow. there-in lies the question, will my rams still work or will they just 
be a WOW factor when seen by others? i have read teh ram theory and it seems 
it has to be a specific duration, but teh cam manufactures didnt think so, as 
the air is present and so it should be fine. but you all know better.
 please help me. cam i do this? please help me. p.s., a hydraulic will 
probably find its way in due to the fact of solids make power high end and we only 
run to maybe 5500 rpm or so.
thanks, tim t
