Have dyno results - need more cam!
Have dyno results - need more cam!
I posted my 350TPI dyno results a few days ago and I've been doing alot of research since then. I was very pleased with the torque numbers, but not thrilled with the hp numbers. Here are the results:
260rwhp @ 4700rpm
340rwtq @ 3500rpm
The mods are in my sig and the roller cam I used for the dyno is a Crane 2031 (264/270 - 208/214 - .438/.452 - 112). The lift is actually .467/.482" with my 1.6 roller rockers. I know this cam is not optimum for my current setup and I plan on swapping it out next weekend.
I'd like opinions on the replacement cam I'm leaning towards. It's a CompCams XR264HR-12 (264/269 - 212/218 - .488/.495 - 112).
From my research about a 350 long tube runner TPI, I think this cam has the best all around specs for making the most power out of my setup. I've learned to look for low advertised duration, less than 220* duration at .050, and a 112* lobe separation. The XR264 covers all of the concerns pretty well, don't you guys think? I'm also using 1.6 roller rockers, so the lift will be closer to .520/.528". I've not read alot about the role that lift plays with a TPI, but I see that most people are running a minimum of .500" lift.
I'm looking to pick up around 25-30rwhp...Will I achieve this goal with the XR264 cam or should I go with the XR269? Opinions, please!

TTT for you, not sure about those cams. but I agree the new one should make a world of difference. Also, might want to think about the LPE 219 cam as well.
