Engine, Transmission, Rearend, & Exhaust / Re: Best street cam for 440 HP...
Last post by Kern Dog - October 30, 2025, 01:15:19 PMSorry, friend. This is a very broad question that cannot be easily answered without knowing a whole lot more.
Not trying to be rude here.
Choosing a camshaft is always some compromise. A light car used strictly for racing will benefit from a far different cam than a heavy street car that is never raced.
High compression engines will want a different cam than a motorhome 440 with 7 1/2 to 1 compression.
When a person says that the car is "All stock" could also mean a variety of things. Parts do get changed over the years and even if it actually is "stock", these cars had several axle ratios available , the engine may have been rebuilt with lower compression pistons, etc and that does matter when picking a camshaft. The taller the axle gearing, the milder cam that you'd need to maintain good drivability.
The safest choice (a factory stock camshaft) will not make the most power. It also won't make the car run poorly at low speeds.

Engine, Transmission, Rearend, & Exhaust / Best street cam for 440 HP.......
Last post by tcs69rt - October 30, 2025, 12:53:09 PMI tried to search this question but had no luck so i will ask it here. I have a 440 in my RT and disc brakes on the front drums on the rear all stock. What has been a reliable cam for a 440 without losing vacuum in the brake booster? Thanks! TC

Chassis, Suspension, Brakes, Wheels, & Tires / Keystone Kustoms on a third ge...
Last post by texas charger 73 - October 30, 2025, 10:43:25 AMi have a 73 dodge charger.. i currently run an aftermarket wheel and want something different.. my current set up is 15x7 with 4" BS with a 235/60/15 on front and 15x8 with 4.5" BS with a 275/60/15on rear... 235/60 on front 275/60 on rear.
i want to put the Keystone Klassic on my charger...
They are only offered in 15x7 with 3.75 " BS and 15x8 with 3.875 BS... they also offer a 15x10 with 4.125" BS..(don't think these will fit under my fenders unless it has 5.5" BS)
Has anyone got these on your 71-74 B Body's... I'm curious about clearance issues on the fenders as these will stand out farther

Engine, Transmission, Rearend, & Exhaust / Re: Oil Preference Feedback:
Last post by Kern Dog - October 29, 2025, 01:20:10 PMI have and the only tick mine has is on cold start. Two broken exhaust studs on the right....Nothing internal.
I know that I am lucky with this truck and that most people don't rack up this many miles on engines of any make or model.

Last post by John_Kunkel - October 29, 2025, 11:10:10 AMQuote from: Kern Dog on October 28, 2025, 02:21:02 PMAll of those components exist in my 2007 5.7 Hemi that has gone 413,000 miles on regular 5 w 20 non synthetic oil.
"Anecdotal experience refers to personal stories or individual accounts that are used to illustrate a point or support a claim, often based on personal observations rather than systematic research. This type of evidence is subjective and may not be reliable for drawing broader conclusions."
Do some research on the infamous "Hemi tick" attributed to poor lubrication characteristics of the Hemi and how better lubricants help.
