If you have the Ported heads right from Dart it is on the PDF, here......

I think it only had the numbers for .750 lift. I know when I needed some numbers for a set of 325's, I called Dart tech, they had their numbers right there.

Hope this helps.

If your making a camshaft, you will need flow #'s from .200 to .800 -.850" every .050". You might could get them from dart. But, if you ported your heads or someone else has, it would be better to send them out and get them tested. $100.00 is normal for 1 cylinder intake and exhaust.

I know after they ported my heads, they averaged 2 intakes and 2 exhausts.

Most good sets of ported 360 heads with a 2.3" intake valve are done @ 410@ .800 and the exhaust lingers around 308-310cfm. so thats all you get, at least with a flow bench that we use. Normal valve job and really good porting, you can make around 1000 hp with these #'s

I can't say how right Bill is about this. $100.00 is a very cheap investment towards the end result. Anyting else is just a guess. Guessing ends up costing more money in the long run. The company you go with to grind you a cam will appreciate it also. I'd go with Cam-Motion by the way. They have ground some good cams over the years for me.

Believe it or not Don, most cam manufactures could give a flip about your personal needs. You assume that they care. They have master lobes in every ° you can think of. What they have is what you get. Even when I do a camshaft for our high end engines, figure all the air speed, bore size, valve, air flow from .0200 to .900, I get cams that are not even close from people that are mentioned all the time, not to mention any names or suggest Cam Motion is one of these, and it is not what I ordered. If I did not check them, I would get what they gave me. So just to mention a name and say they have done good cams is very general.

SUPER LOBES, Dema Elgin is one of the best cam grinders in the world along with LSM and a few others. Most can do it right, its just if you can make them. You check every lobe and see for yourself. If you want a near perfect camshaft every time call either if you want to spend $450-600.00 per cam. At least it is what you wanted even if you did it wrong. Dema forgot more about cam grinding and application factors than most now know. Thats a fact. All his camshafts are flawless, never got one that was not. JMO ofcourse
