Engle also specializes in early Hemi cams,and their tech guy is really prompt about returning emails. Scott Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I have a Comp Cams 235/235 @ .050 in a stick car and its not that radical. Will probably go up to a bigger cam soon. (edit) not that radical to me anyway. It does have some lope.
Hydraulic would be easiest to maintain, adjusting valves on an early Hemi W/adjustable pushrods is not easy. You might want to a search on here about the magneto HEI, lot of problems with the unit. Ago

What's your compression, rear gear and tire diamter? Then what is the power ban you are experiencing?
