Sorry for not returning your replies til now, haven't been able to get on computer all week. I guess I kinda sounded a little ignorant saying that it accelerated like a small block, Aubrey, but this is my first try at a 409 like this, with all the modern go fast stuff in it. It just seems that this cam grind really complements the characteristics of the 409, ya know. The steep ramp really works well, I think. I think the 109 degree LSA really creates a lot of chop and I've always liked a flat tappet over a roller when it comes to sound. In past experience, I've had to use a much bigger roller cam to get the same kind of sound. The manton pushrods are just what the Dr. ordered for anything high performance. Terry Manton and his crew really turn out a quality part and they will work with you on any questions you have, they're really good on custom length pushrods too. We've run them in our NASCAR motors for years with 0 failures. You fellas have a great one, gotta run! Jeremy PS- Can't make a video yet, but I'm working on it!
