I would recommend either Cam Motion or Bullet racing cams, both of
these companies offer strong street oriented grinds along side their
race stuff. I have nothing against Comp and the other mass producers
except for the tech guy who answers the phone may not be the most
knowledgeable, we have experienced that more than once. When you call
Cam motion or Bullet which by the way took over Ultradyne you are
guaranteed to speak with someone who really is knowledgable about cams
for your application. In the case of Bullet, if Harold answers the
phone you might as well pack a lunch because he will talk your ear
off, but he has forgotten more than most cam designers will probably
ever know,LOL!

I'd suggest you contact the cam manufacturers like Comp Cams and get
their recommendation. Go to Comp Cam's website and get a "fact sheet"
so you have all the info available when you talk to them. The Mopar
.484 has been called old technology by the cam manufacturers, but of
course they have a vested interest in you not buying the Mopar cam.
If you want a Mopar .484 cam, I've got a used one with correctly ID'd
lifters I'll sell for a very reasonable price.

Subject: Cam Selection Question
I have a 383 that has an unknown non-stock cam in it that I need to
replace. The engine is in my 63 Sport Fury.
I am seeing areas on the bottom of 4 lifters that indicate at some time
the lifters did not rotate. I want to replace the cam before I do
damage.
The engine has been balanced and has some head work done but I don't
know the extent. It is in a strictly street car with a 4-speed that
will never see a drag strip. I am running 3.23 rear ratio.
I am looking a the following cam, any comments on this cam or other
suggestions would be appreciated:
NEW - Hyd. - 284 / 284 Duration - 484 / 484 Lift
Street/Improved driveability
$214.95
MOPP5007697
This is a Mopar Performance Cam from Mancini.
Thanks
