Most of the major cam makers like Comp Cams can regrind a cam subject to the machining limitations of the original piece (I don't think you could get above .500" lift from a 230 hp Poly cam!). Upping the 230 hp cam to the "power-pack" 260 hp spec is well within the limits,however the best cam would be a new one from Chris Nielson Cams. The Mopar Muscle 405 hp engine has a rowdy 290º/".492 lift camshaft,but what would be an excellent street performance camshaft for a poly would be something in the 260º to 270º range. A new cam in this range would have better performance than the factory's "power-pack" cam (it was in the 250º's) and still be mild enough for excellent street manners. With a 600 cfm 4-bbl. it would put out around 300-320 hp (headers would add hp,of course!) and a 2¼" dual exhaust would be a must. Neilson Cams P.O.
