This is the hydraulic version. Personally I like the solid lifters.
A .580 or so lift would be a compromise between the .600 you need for full intake flow and loosing some torque right off of idle.
This one is .530 lift. It is a hot street grind. Probably idles right around 950 rpm or so?

The answer is that you may need to try several cams to get close to what you are looking for.
One of the points George made about this kind of cam way back at the beginning of these camshaft discussions is that they are tough to live with in an everyday use car, stuck in traffic and all of that.
I do agree 100% to that. A true high performance car IS NOT what I want to drive everyday, everywhere. Never was. Never will be.
For a solid lifter cam, I would use this one. Same overlap, more lift at .570.

With a solid lifter cam you get the full advertised lift. With hydraulic, because of the hydraulic lifters, you only get a percentage of the advertised lift.
The main thought in George's "Roller CJ" cam was inclusive of the stock "Pantera" exhaust system and the nature of the car, I think, and it is a VERY GOOD CONSIDERATION. No question.
I think it would more aptly be titled "Pantera Roller CJ cam". That would entirely be complimentary to it?
I did run this engine in a Mustang. It was in my '68 GT350 for about 10 years. It liked 2" x 36" long primaries, 3-1/2" collectors. That right there should tell you something about the nature of what the engine wanted to be. Even 428's like 1-3/4" primaries.
It definitely likes gears. The more the better. It liked 4.33's the best.
