Re: help with a cam

i was talking to my buddy who is a senior grinder at comp the other day about this exact cam and he said for a street application its about perfect your just gonna want about 9.5:1 compression and a 2500 stall, expect to see slightly lower vac. levels though, shouldnt be enough to really make a difference though

well the rest of the combo isnt much, bored .30 over with flat tops, port and polishing the heads with a 3 angle valve job and headers. and port matching the intake. however the desk top dyno showed that that would be the idea cam for the motor. but thats on the computer
