Jon,
I have no personal experience with them, but I've never heard anything bad
about Hughes. All I've heard is good things. When I get some $$$, I'll
probably get a motor from then(will be awhile, though...). That sounds
like a pretty healthy cam. Lots o' lift and short duration @ .050", which
is what you want. High duration at .050" will move power up in the rpm
range, not cool for a 4x4 - or any lower rpm motor (i.e. the Magnum..). It
should give you a boost in low end torque, and a whoop ass midrange. Looks
like the powerband would be in the 2k - 5500 rpm range, perfect for the
Magnums. But I wouldn't take my word for it, I am just speculating using
my lil bit of knowledge on cams.. =)
Overall, sounds like it really good cam. Probably should change out the
pushrods and rocker arms at the same time. But hey, if you want someone to
try it first to see if they like it, you can go ahead and ship it to me,
I'll test it for ya...hehehe... =) Maybe get some ported and polished
heads too....
Brian
