I have a EP4616A hydraulic roller cam 112 centerline 216/int 228/exh @ .050w/1.7 -1 rockers .501/int and .510/exh the engine is a gen 6 454+ .030 10-1 comp. rec port stock heads with new double springs and damper valve springs. basset headers light on the h20. single quad tunnel ram and msd. looking to go into a sst jet 1979 should I trash that cam or use it. my wallet is saying use it my heart says chunk it. any imput would be nice

That is a very small cam and will definately limit performance and top speed :thumbdown:
-
86 that cam...and if you don't ....make sure spring seat pressure will work along with the rest of your valve train...just my thoughts.

That camshaft is what I would call an "RV" camshaft...It will make respectable torque at the bottom end (not required on a jet pump) and will "fizzle out" at the top...Almost the exact opposite of what is required. :thumbdown:
Perfect cam for the tow vehicle though... :thumbup:

Hydraulic is fine unless balls out engine. that cam will run in the 5000-5500 range, however it is possible to turn, remember torque and HP meet at 5250 RPM. the cam will depending on its specs can make more hp .
