I am working on a friend on mines Cuda with a 383. He picked up the car a couple years ago but really never ran it. It's a fresh engine rebuild with a purple cam and hydraulic lifters. It has one lifter that never pumps up and another that fades in and out. While I had the intake off I measured the lift on the cam lobes to try and figure out what cam was in it. They measured.307 in/.323 ex. I can't find these specs for any of the purple cams. Does anyone know what cam this might be?
 
you need to check at the rocker to get the total lift due to the rocker ratio. if you had a cam shaft card it would tell you the actual cam lobe height. not the advertise lift.
 
To get valve lift you multiply by 1.5
Doing so I get .4605 intake and .4845 exhaust.
I believe the roadrunner cam was .450 / .458 while most other Mopar Performance cams had the same lift on both.
Maybe a .484 cam with a worn intake lobe?

i would take a dial indicator and do a check on the engine as the hyd lifter will play a part due to oil bleed from spring pressure. check out a you tube vid to get an idea.

I checked two other cylinder lobes and they measure the same as the first. This is a brand new camshaft and lifters. I did find another manufacturer that had those specs but it was not a purple shafted camshaft.
 
IDK about a 460/484 lift MP dual pattern cam
Intake would be close to Engle
K-52HYD .458" .305" 254°@.008 209°@.050
ask Racer Brown
