You want to define "big turd" for us? According to SD Performance "In a recent dyno test this cam installed in a 464ci engine with 9.5 to 1 compression, a set of our 250-260cfm CNC ported #11 cast iron heads, CNC ported cast iron Q-jet intake and a prepped Q-jet carb made 503hp and 575+ lb/ft of torque on 91 octane."

In my world 575lb/ft and 503HP does not equate to a "big turd" but is a respectable car. WE ARE in the street section after all.

Lol
Engine had 4x cnc SD heads and same compression and was done by 4500 rpm
3900lb car ran 13.25 - 13.40's
Didn't run much faster when he changed to edelbrocks and 2 camshafts later.

I see guys always jumping from an 068 to an 041. What about the 744 RA3 stick cam. I've heard at least one guy really badmouth this cam. But, on paper, it looks like it would be just a bit better than the 068 in a 455--somewhere between the 068 & the 041. Just lookin at the specs on the Summit cams, it appears that the 2801 is just a higher lift version of the 068, and the 2802 is a high lift version of the 744.

So, how bout it ? Anybody use the 744 in a 455 ? How bout the 2802 ? I realize we are talkin low rpm grunt here, below 5000rpm.

Then I suppose the next step up, but just below the 041 is the Crower 60243. So who has some results to report on this cam. I think I've seen Cliff mention this one.
