Re: More camshaft.
My motor idles like crap below 800rpm and that one has more duration than I'm running. But mine's on a 115 lsa so that one will be alot more manageable. 1.5 rockers would probably give you better low to mid torq.

Re: More camshaft.
I'm just looking for more n/a non-hybrid hp. I've come to the realization i will be losing low end torque so I'm just looking for a larger cam then the one I have. I also already have 1.6 ratio rockers.

Re: More camshaft.
the closer u can get .500 or above lift the better the iron head flow jumps up considerably after 400 lift. while its mid lift numbers that m,atter the most going to a cam with .515 lift will give u a decent gain over a similar cam with only .430 lift

Re: More camshaft.
Do you have any high lift cams in mind?
