El camino getting a new camshaft.
It will be the third stick we have tried. First one was really sweet pulled strong but plateaued around 6000 rpm. Second one could pull all the way to 7k plus and still wanted to keep going but we lost the low end torque. This one we hope will be the gold...
Never easy to get the magic combo right …
Will you use a rolling road to map the torque curve ?
Just old school. The guy goes by feel and never claims any specific hp.
We just time the 1/8 mile. The two previous cams. New cam is from isky custom grind 245 106 .575 Also this cam is built for solid lifters revs higher. ...
Push rods …
This is really a fun project i imagine. I believe i asked you before … but i’m gonna ask anyway … how many cc and hp ? Over 7000 rpm is alqo quite crazy for such. A big engine. Have fun, don’t blow it up 🥶. Bim
We already blew it up. Third engine in two years.
This 406 cubic inches. We have some pretty fancy parts in this baby. We hurt the engine often. Ps the higher revs is in part due to solid lifters. Car sits low takes a few hits. ...
Go E85, Bill. Compression isn't everything . . .
. . . but without it, it's tough getting good overall results. Headroom is undervalued, too. When will the engine be done?
Well that looks nice 😄.
I wish i had the skills to open and put back together an engine 🥶
