Thread: Howards Racing Components

I recently ordered some springs from competition products and they sent me a catalogue with my order, they seem to sell a lot of HRC stuff. My Question is, how is their stuff, they seem to make just about everything. Any experience with their products.

well howard cams is at comp i am a dealer for all there lines of parts and have used howards there cranks .cam. rods. lifters .springs not all there stuff is made at comp address but cams are been there and see the hole shop there

I just got through dynoing my .040 over 454 with edelbrock performer rpm heads and intake. I ran a howards hyd roller (108 lsa installed on a 104 icl). I was pleased with the torque output (500+ ftlbs up to 5000 rpm), but the rpm band didn't really match the claimed 2500-5800 spec. The engine peaked at 5200 (490 hp), and started falling hard at 5400. I know a tight lsa will fall hard , but I had hoped for at least a 5500 peak.

well put it on 108 intake that will move it up 104 going to be short but alot of grunt

I was thinking about that, but not sure if 300 rpms more is worth tearing the manifold off to check the cam thrust again. I'll just shift a little earlier. I just wish the dyno could have read below 3600 rpms, where it made 550 ft-lbs and was on the downhill slide. Thanks for the help Pat; I'll install my next short duration 108 lsa cam straight up.

yep i done them on 108 last one was a 427 ended up on 107 runs good. i done six 496 with some 108 nasty bottom end
