Direct Connection Mopar Cam Chart

One word of caution relative to degree wheels. The DC degree wheel (P4286552) is a zero-to-180 design, which will yield the numbers listed above. Other manufacturers carry 0-degrees-90-degrees-0-degrees design degree wheels, which will not directly yield the numbers above. For example, the 130 degrees on the DC wheel would be 50 degrees on the other style. The correct answer is obtained by subtracting 50 degrees from 180 degrees for 130 degrees or by subtracting 50 degrees from 90 degrees (answer 40 degrees and adding this to 90 degrees (40 degrees + 90 degrees = 130 degrees). Using the DC degree wheel eliminates a lot of confusion and lessens the possibility of making errors.

Note: Degree Tape P4120993; 'A' offset keys new PN P4286500; B, RB HEMI offset bushing P3690936.

The cam chart that lists the various cams sold by the Direct Connection in the last few years follows. It is based on rocker ratios of LA-1.5, B-RB-1.5, Hemi-1.57I, 1.52E.

The first thing to do and the most important item in the valve gear is the cam selection. That is done by the racer for his application. Recommendations are given in other chapters, books and the D.C. catalog.
