iteams for cyl head questions to get right setup
fresh from newtech camp.
i was wondering what spring i would need to get best out of this setup:
i was thinking about buying this: http://store.summitracing.com/partde...DK1109&FROM=MG and i need right spring and rocker arms so what could do be the best job?
any one out there with right thinking.

HOLY COW! That's a big cam! I wouldn't recommend a summit cam of that size anyway, i'd go with a cam manufacturers one.
Are you sure you want one that big anyway?
Which cylinder heads do you have? You have a very highly built motor to do a cam of that size justice?

Sonix is right... that cam is massive! Looks like a close replica of the old 'off-road' Z28 cam. Even for a 400, thats a big cam. What are you planning to use that in?

oki boys lets skip the summit cam and use something else that use bigger then .530 int./exh. lift what open pressure and what this all is called for springs would i be looking for?
hehe like the man said.. it all start by adding better air filter and you will end up with very highly built motor because you will always tune more to gain more and more for as light+strong as it can get.

That sort of range would probably work well.
something like 130/350 for springs would be in the range you want i'd think. That's more of a question to ask the cam manufacturer after you choose the cam.
hope the heads are up to the task of this power level eh?
