That is huge duration for not that much lift. I would say that is a 7,000 + RPM cam. 54 degrees of overlap, it will thump like crazy.

Who recommended the cam? How many RPM's do you intend to turn? This is a 440?
It is possible those Mopar's require a ton of duration. If not I will have to say it is way too big.
Someone with Mopar specific knowledge please speak up.

Someone with Mopar specific knowledge please speak up. Erson did the recommendation. I have had very good luck with there choices. Plus I could not pass up the price he gave me. The cam I used previously was way to small, barely a .500 lift. This is my first boat cam that I am having done by them. So far all the car cams have worked awesome.

That cam is like my UltraDyne Cam I ran in my stroker 440 that was 496ci. That motor was for my street car wink that ran mid 10's.
I would like to see some more specs. on your motor. Is it a 440? What heads are you running?
Mopar do like a lot of duration. But with that cam in a 440 you will see peak power at about 6700-7000rpm.

Yes its a 440. 12:1 with 906 heads, in the process of switching to ported stage VI heads. Rods have been lightened. Tunnel ram with 660's, aluminum flywheel.

That thing should fly! The Stage VI's are a good head. My 496 also had the stage VI's on it. With the tunnel ram and the stage VI's you will need the intake spacers. Mopar does not make a tunnel ram just for the 440 and the Stage VI's. I ran the intake spacers on my 496, The one thing I did not like is the dog leg in the port with the spacers. just do a good port match and you should be fine. When you get that thing running I would like to see it run.

"B" block heads designed for a "RB" intake. So if you go "RB" to "RB" you need the spacers.

Ok I confused myself this time. Probably the death threats. The VI heads on a B block uses the RB manifold. When they are on the RB block you need the spacers. Different head design.

On the Stage VI heads Mopar raised the intake port about 7/8" to get a better short side(floor) on the intake port. The way they did that is to raise the intake so a rb(440) intake will fit on a b(383,400). The only problem is that when you use the heads on a 440 you will need the spacers to match the ports to the 440 intake.

Kindsvater Flat, What kind of RPM do you want to run with that motor, and where did you get your headers?

As far as rpm goes I run around most of the time between 3500 and 4500 rpm. The headers are Sanderson. They either came with the 413 in 72 or the 440 in 80 when it was changed.
