ive got the ra-4 rhoades 1.65 combo right now, about my 5th time to use it, im seriously considering getting comp to grind me a 305 magnum on 114, then putting rhoades on it, i tried that cam when i was a newb back in 1977 and it had 0 till 3k in a 400, but once i got it rolling it would make 396 chevelles cry, w 455 cubes some compression and a wide lsa w rhoades it might perform well.

Back in the late '80's, Comp made a cam with the 292H Magnum lobe on the intake, and the 305H Magnum on the exhaust. I put one of these in our 2nd gen 455 bracket engine. With Rhoads lifters, it would still idle good enuff and make enuff low end power to leave from an idle, with a stock converter. But, the engine had 72cc iron heads on it. So, I don't know how that cam would have done with less than 10:1 CR.

Anyhow, if your gonna buy a custom cam anyhow, you may wanna get 'em to make it a dual pattern.

That would be an interesting test. A friend of mine uses the 305H ground on a 108 and has run 11.6 @ 116 mph using 1.5 rockers, B&M 2500 rpm converter and 3.36 gears.
