I asked Eric at Howard's cams, "why such a big cam" and he basically told me what jpnjim said. The lobes aren't aggressive so it's easier on the valve train. And with 4.10's and a good converter, and the 112LSA it would be fine. Soooo, I ordered it from Jegs to put in my 73' 401!!! It's very similar to the one I'm going to build.only differences are Its got Edelbrock heads, and 10.5:1 .020 over Ross pistons. Oh, and FI Tech fuel injection, and a five speed manual trans. It's currently apart for a "freshen up" and I've been wanting to see what a better cam would do. I'm currently running a Comp 280H grind. The Intake is an RPM Air Gap because it's mostly street driven.

the howard cam looks good I run a 540 lift solid in my 290 with a torqer intake it give good power in the whole rpm range and as far as solid cams I run the shur lock nuts and very seldom have to readjust the rockers so I would not be afraid of a solid cam good luck on the build sounds like your heading in the right direction for fun
