i plan on getting XR282HR-10 from Comp Cams. my questions are these:

1.) for cam XR282HR-10, what is the best timing chain to use?
2.) also, for XR282HR-10, it says i need intake, stall, gears, headers. whats the best stall range for that cam (2200-5800 rpm is its optimal range). and are 3.73 gears going to be sufficient?
3.) there is a sensor coming outta the bottom of the cover. whats that for?
4.) how do you tell what type of rods you have?

sorry if i sound dumb and ill-informed, i just wanna get this right the first time.

 

1 double roller, i like cloyes products
2 my guess is something in the 2400 range
3 what cover?
4 look at them, run the PN

 

I have that cam in a 400.

Why do you want that particular cam? Does it match the rest of the engine you're building? That is, is it really the right cam for you?

1. Is this a real roller motor, or a factory one? Timing sets are different. If it's a real roller, I'd recommend a Comp 3100 timing set. If it's a factory roller setup, a Comp 3136.

2. That depends on what size motor it's going in and what the rest of the car is (gears, weight, etc.) I'd say 2800 RPM if this is a 350, 2500 if it's a 400.

3. ÂżCover? ÂżSensor?

4. What rods? What do you want to know about them? I guess a good first step would be to look at them and find any identifying marks like part #s.

 

ok, at summitracing.com, they show a CCA-8-432-8 and a CCA-12-432-8. if i have a '96 350 factory roller block, would i get the CCA-8-432-8?
