Yeah, I use Bullet for our race cams and regrinds as well(302 GMC for example) . I have a Bullet solid roller in our blown 432ci BBC in our Bonneville car, its a bit hairy at 284/292 @ .050 and .772/.722lift....it DOESN'T make much vacuum...
...but makes good boost! Yeah, my model A was at TAMU about 20 years before me...
Since I moved to Norway and shut down my full time shop, I work a normal job as an engineer and work evenings and weekends, spare time, dream of cars now. I built a nice garage beside my house , so can enjoy working on cars again, it got to be a job before, finally get to work on some of my own stuff...
. The 409 I'm gearing up to build now, I've been hauling the shortblock around since about '93 or so...it's time ot build it...I do agree this solid cam I haev for the 409 is a bit stout for my current build, I think I will pass it along and get a slightly milder cam for this initial build, but build the block and heads for a more serious motor so it's easy to upgrade.
