Re: Comp extreme energy cam...

According to David Vizard, those Scat cranks are the cat's pajamas and he's never seen one break.

Dont use them if you're going to have tons and tons of power, but he's basically said if you dont need a forged crank, the cast one will take you a long way.

It's up to you whether you want to chance it I guess. but I just wanted to point out that David Vizard (The guy who writes all those books) is always sucking their teats and ranting about how great they are so....

a 750 dp would work perfect for that all the 355 build ups i seen they use a 750 dp with less cam then you are using and with 200cc plus heads and everything else setup right run 11's. i run a 670 on my stock l98 motor and the carb out the box was set up for strictly gas mileage has 65 pri 68 sec jets probaly enough for a lg4. And if you look at just about all vacuum secondary carbs they dont recommend using a cam with more the 220 intake duration @ .50. I modified my 670 rejetted it added adjustable secondary housing different power valve. Still i have people tell me the 650 dp would net me some better times when it comes to racing double pumpers seem to be the way to go.

he said it was solid lifter cam from what racers told me there not a good street strip cam and that you will have to adjust your valves alot and there noisy and ruff on the valvetrain there more for full out bracket racers.

Re: Comp extreme energy cam...

should be a solid mid low 12 second car with the right tune/parts. i think you should seriously consider 750 dp carb at least. should turn over 6200-6300rpms for sure and make decent power. gotta have the tune tho

with that cam im guessing this is a strictly weekend warrior id ditch the hedman headers get get a set of the hooker super comp 1 3/4 long tubes and ditch the dual plane for a victor jr. The 750 is a must id look into the proform and quick fuel 750 carbs or the holley hp series. also you may want 3500-3800 stall for that also then id say high 11's. also what kind of compression are you putting out with that big cam and all the other parts you should be running more then 10:1 compression and probaly will have to run 104 octane

well the "basic operating range" on the cam is like 2000 - 6400 and its gonna be a daily driver for a lil bit until i can get another car.. prolly a few months or so.... now here my last question... my bottom end is from northern autoparts... http://northernautoparts.com/ the crankshaft id from a company that goes by the name of scat the rods im not sure i believe thier scat also... now should that bottom end be able to handle 6500 rpms when i take it out to the track and all??

Re: Comp extreme energy cam...

it should as long as you have good rod bolts and everything is in spec down there adn fresh. i wouldnt go over 6500 too much but i doubt you'll have to. those heads are good but i think you'll limit out around 6400rpms anyway

Re: Comp extreme energy cam...

I used that Scat kit from Northern as well, but with 6.0" rods. It made 458 on the engine dyno, and I regularly rev it to 7000. So far so good. My cam is slightly larger 248°/248° @ .050 and .525/.525 lift solid flat tappet. I only had to adjust the lash twice all summer, and the second time there was only a couple that were very slightly out of spec. The only thing about it that I would consider "too big for the street" is that my brake pedal gets hard in stop and go traffic. No big deal - push a little harder.
