I Have a 360 0.30 over 9.8.1 pistons with a set of ported J heads 2.02 valves
I was wonder what my options would be with going to a hydrolic roller cam also what are the pros and cons of going with this type of camshaft in a LA block.
should free up some more horse power. if so how more of a gain can I expect to see?
I would guess that roller rockers would be a must. ( have them )
I would like the RPM range to work from 1800-6500.
I have heard horror stories about the retro roller lifters, is there a drop in roller lifter that would not require any machine work?
I am guessing that the cam would not be much larger than .500 lift
what kind of gains would I expect to see over my .480 .480 -280 lunati cam
More info on my car is as follows.
68 barracuda coupe says 3100lbs on the title I am guessing in current trim with me in it it weighs about 3400.lbs
410 SG 8 3/4 ( added this year )
727 manual valve body. 2800 stall converter.
super stock springs and shocks. (added this year )
frame connectors. ( added this year )
M1 dual plane intake- I have access to a M1 single but the M-1 dual makes a ton of bottom end torque. reminds me of an old LD 340.
750 quick fuel carb
28'' ET streets.
last year I ran 13.92 @ just over 100 best ET.
on street tires.
8 1/4 2.76 open (awful 60's ) spinning all they way through 1st.
wore out stock springs and shocks.
shifting at 5600 and not even pulling high gear. discovered that I had a bad valve spring was missing past 5600.
The math says it should run 13.63 so I hope to see a improvement this year.
any suggestions would most welcome. I want to have a respectable time this season.

If get it to hook it should run about 13.00 @ 108 mph ( I hope )
