1973 Challenger. 440 with 6-71 supercharger. 440source aluminum heads. 1.5 aluminum roller rockers. 8.5:1 forged pistons. Stock forged crank. Either a 727 or A518 automatic; did not buy a TC yet, but thinking around 2400 stall and open to suggestions. 3.23:1 gear ratio. I do not have tires / wheels yet. Will have P/B and A/C.

Car will be used on the street only so I need a reliable idle and enough vacuum for my brakes and A/C. I just need to to blow the doors off the imports that pull up next to me at stop lights.

I submitted this info to the COMP cams website and they suggested "part number 21-223-4 but I would ask for it to be custom ground on a 114 LSA to better accommodate the supercharger."

I then found a cam that seems similar but already has 114 LSA from Summit. The specs for both cams are pasted below. Would anyone recommend either of these or a different one? I have had decent luck with Summit cams in the past and am willing to use another one.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR ANY HELP!

 

Came specs mean nothing to me....... because I don't understand them at all. I know what number mean but I have never been able to translate that to HP, TQ, RPM range, etc..

If the summit cam has all the same specs as the COMP cam but has been ground to how you need and you have had good luck with their cams before, I would go that way.
