@Brandon Gauthreaux LMAO!! This is one of the best cam comments I've ever seen.

@Doc Fischer That sounds awesome, good luck with the build! And I don't mess with any social media besides youtube so the only time I come to cars and coffee is when my friend with the red Corvette invites me and I haven't heard from him in a while.

@Redline 150 Productions Thanks a lot man, good luck with your build! I subbed for future vids!

@N. M. Thanks man! Mileage isn't as bad as one would think. Before swapping to a larger engine and lower rear gear it used to get over 25 MPG highway. It did recently get a bit worse when I installed an accelerator pump nozzle that is one or two sizes too large though. Need to fix that soon.

@Rogue Exploration Thanks man! Hope you've been doing well! I've stopped by and liked a couple of your streams and vids lately but just haven't left a comment in a while. I took it to cars and coffee like this on Independence day which is kind of an upscale foreign car event. It commanded everyone's attention! I got a vid of that coming soon.

@@Impactjunky Thanks for stopping by and leaving a like...yeah your next video should be interesting upscale foriegn cars vs American muscle I've never owned a foriegn car and never will 🇺🇸

@@RogueExploration The only foreign car I've ever really bought and owned was a non running Jaguar I bought for a couple hundred bucks intending to swap a small block Chevy into. Unfortunately I hit hard times right after buying the thing and had to sell it before even turning a wrench on it.

@Old Skool Only Garage Not in a million years!

@choppersrule1 Good to hear from ya man! It's been forever! Hope you and the family have been doing well!

Thank you my friend i am doing ok i hope you and your family stay safe as well mate.

@MrJohn613 Budget Builds Thanks for stopping by dude!

@East Bay Hounds I LOVE the sound and a lot of others do too but the volume level is beyond offensive. Flooring it with the windows open literally hurts my ears. The first time I got it to break traction re-tuning it for these pipes I had to push my head against my shoulder to shield my ear mid burnout. The dude behind my car's reaction in my friends quick video here says it all kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qc6botxhmpjRZqs.html&lc=Ugxyh9cWII7BzZhr-KZ4AaABAg.9An6h2GnPuI9An7-tuk_1N

Impact's Garage and Gaming that is hilarious, he played off his shock/disapproval pretty well.

@Bradley Rideout It depends on how the carburetor is set and how the car is geared. With milder carb settings and the stock axle gears I was getting over 25 highway. With 3.55 axle gears, bigger jets and accelerator pump nozzle and a super rich tune for open exhaust it isn't anywhere near that good. A 4 barrel will almost always get much better mileage than a 2 barrel, especially a vacuum secondary 4 barrel because the primaries are smaller than your average 2 barrel and the extra 2 barrels only open when you get on the gas hard.

@spartan1876 That's a great intake manifold, fuel injection usually doesn't jive well with a big cam though. The Hughes site warns you not to use this cam with EFI without an ECU tuner although it does work well with a tune. All the guys I've seen running this cam with EFI still can't get the thing to idle as slow and choppy and hit as hard off idle as I can with my carb though. The cam I'm running is Hughes part number SER1418ALN10 which has a 110 degree lobe separation angle and 499/506 lift and 214/218 duration. The lobe separation angle roughly determines how choppy the idle is and how much extra snappy low end torque the engine will make. A higher lobe separation angle like 112 ,114 or 116 will idle smoother and make less snappy low end torque but be easier to tune with EFI. A lower lobe separation number like 110, 108 or 106 will idle rougher and make more low end torque but be harder to tune with EFI. Hughes sells a version of this cam that has the same lift and duration but it has a more conservative lobe separation angle that can be used with EFI easily. It won't idle as rough or hit as hard in the low RPM right off idle as this one but its still a big improvement over stock. They sell an even more conservative cam part number SER0814ALN14 that is even more tame and it already adds 31 HP and 48 TQ over stock so SER1418ALN14 will certainly do even better than that . . . even if it doesn't have a choppy idle. Also with these Magnum heads any more lift than about 500 really needs aftermarket or ported stock heads to take advantage of the extra lift and airflow so there's no point in looking for a cam with more than 500 lift unless you upgrade the heads. In short if you want it to idle rough like this you're going to need an ECU tune but you can still get most of the power increase with a smooth idling high performance cam.

@Antonio Claudio Michael Thanks dude! Good to hear from you! Been really sick for the last couple week or so and just got out of the hospital.

@@Impactjunky glad your doing better bro

@@Impactjunky good to hear from you as well bro

@michaelbouwman590 The short story is I got a dual plane because they make more low end power in a mild street car than a single plane does. A single plane intake generally makes less low RPM power in exchange for better top end power and usually works best with a lighter car or a hotter engine or deeper gears or a combo of all three to help it be less lazy in the low RPMs. Also unless you are running an open spacer, a dual plane intake essentially splits the carb in half and makes it so each individual cylinder/cylinder bank only pulls from half of the carb. Meaning that a 600 CFM carb would act a bit more like a 300 CFM carb. This is great for low end grunt and fuel economy, especially in a heavy vehicle, but obviously leaves it choked out a little in the high RPMs which is why I like to run an open spacer or tapered spacer on this dual plane to open both sides of the intake divider to each other so it can use the full 600 CFM of my current carb. An open or tapered spacer or even a cut in the intake divider gives you a really good middle ground that usually makes a good balance of low RPM torque and high RPM power. This is why a lot of high performance intake manufacturers have started making a small cut in the divider of many of their intakes from the factory and also why my 4 barrel 84 Trans Am came from the factory with a large round gap in the divider to let the engine breath through the whole carb. Intake runner length and size is also a key factor to consider too, one of the main reasons a dual plane makes more low end power than a single plane is because the intake runners or "tubes" are usually longer in length and smaller in diameter on a dual plane. Generally a longer intake path works best for low RPM power and a shorter one works best for high RPM. Likewise a skinnier intake runner or air path is best suited for low end torque and a larger one is best suited for high RPM. You'll see all different sorts of intakes out there that have various different features I just described. They make single plane intakes with skinny runners that are supposed lose less low end torque and still pull good in the high RPM. A tunnel ram is also a single plane intake with very long runners and thus usually makes better torque than a single plane intake while breathing really good in the high RPMs. Edelbrock also used to make a line of dual plane low RPM torque intakes for trucks and heavy cars that purposely had very skinny and very long runners with no cut in the divider. Those intakes make your engine redline and run out of breath at about 4000 RPM but they came on like a bat out of hell right off idle, which honestly wasn't a bad trade off for some weak setups that had no low end grunt. Generally these days a standard dual plane with a spacer or a cut divider seems to be the jack of all trades. They come on pretty strong in the low end and usually breathe good up to about 6500 with a spacer or a cut divider.

Yeah a lot, this is too much cam for the stock valve springs and retainers and too much cam for the stock fuel injection. A cam this big really needs good intake, exhaust and rear axle gears to work properly too, all of which I have.

Thanks Yeah I got a 1973 satellite that I’m putting a 5.9 magnum in its going to carburetor. I didn’t no if this cam needed the pistons fly cutted or if the clearance was alright.

@@paulbranum5433 Good luck with the build!

Thanks man, sorry for asking so many questions but did you use stock push rods or did this cam require different ones

@@paulbranum5433 No problem man, I'm always willing to help. It's the stock lifters and pushrods. The whole combo is a junkyard 5.9 Magnum with Hughes part number SER1418ALN10 with the recommended valve springs and retainers and timing gear/chain set installed "straight up". The intake is a cheap chinese ebay Magnum carb air gap intake, carb is a Holley 600 vacuum secondary, exhaust is Hooker headers with Flowmaster mufflers, ignition is a Mopar performance distributor with MSD. I'd be happy to answer any other questions if I left something important out.

@William J Warren SER1418ALN10

Impact's Garage and Gaming I was just looking at this cam! I have a late LA 360 roller cam engine, and this is one I’m considering

@@IGrocker The Magnum heads this cam was made for are supposed to flow really good so you may need some porting or better heads to use this cam most effectively. Good luck with the build!

@Doc Fischer Thanks, it's Hughes Engines part number SER1418ALN10 with the proper valve spring and retainer kit.

@WGBearden777 It's listed near the bottom of the page in this link. www.hughesengines.com/Index/products.php?browse=category&level0=Qi0gU21hbGwgQmxvY2sgRG9kZ2UgTWFnbnVt&level1=Q2Ftc2hhZnQ=&searchmode=partnumber&page=2&partid=30210

Impact's Garage and Gaming oh funny that’s what they recommended me as well have you Dynoed the car do you know what kind of power you’re making?

@@wgbearden7776 Tim from Hughes Engines asked me several questions about the build and then he said that according to a HP calculator I should be making somewhere around 420 HP and 450 TQ. I believe it too because this thing runs like a beast for a small block with the stock heads and converter in a car this size.

Impact's Garage and Gaming that’s awesome thanks man I was between a regrind and Hughes and after hearing your car I’m going Hughes. Awesome car btw!
