Hmm... daytona beach. Haven't been there for awhile. I guess I'll check into what fares are running nowadays for that part of the country. I'll let you know.
Sounds like a nice setup. But your cam is a good bit smaller than mine. What's everybody think? Would this be a good comparison for what to expect mine to be like?

Thanks

Is that duration @ .05 or advertised? What's your compression? How much power does it make? I think I'll try to make it. Been wanting to go to MAM for the last few weeks anyways. I'll let you know...

Thanks

Ok, talked to Big Rick... Nice guy, fast e-mailer too Anywho, he says his car is strictly racing... but he's got a buddy with an almost identical setup to mine... Only diff is cubes. He's got a 396. Otherwise though... AFR 220's, very similar cam, 13:1 compression (on pump gas btw), etc. He says it's a beast, and that it did surge below 2500 rpm. But it also made 520 rwhp and ran mid 10's </font>
I guess what I'm wondering..everybody likes the way big cam's sound..bigger the better right? not exactly. Like Procharged89 said, its easy to overcam a engine then under. Big Rick's friend has a cam your size (what..650+ lift?)..and you're running 10s only? 520rwhp could be achieved (IMHO..I dont know his setup) without a cam of that size.

If i'm off base..just say STFU and go back to bench racing. lol

I just speced out my N.A. cam for my 396 with huge pro action 235's low 260,s/high 260's .7xx/.7xx.But overall duration is quite small(Very aggresive lobe)Compression is 13.5 to one.
This is a tempory setup for this year I cant afford a fast system this year So I am Rpm limited to 7000.

I fully expect to get this to run almost as good as my 236/242 does in my 350 lt1.A lot of surge problems can be dealt with with timing
Their is a lot of talk about no tourque at 2500-3000 rpm.You might be giving some up but on the street you will still be sideways from 2000 rpm and up.At the track launch it high and keep the shifts in the peak tourque and you will be fine.

I realize that I have to much head on this moter but it was built for 8500 rpm with a big fogger.
The nitrous cam for the moter with the fast is 28x/28x .75+/.75+

hey Chuck, I know you got your motor together and dyno'd, so why don't you post the results and the specs at the time. That would make this thread almost complete

Well, I pretty much don't remember this thread, but I guess basically what happened is I got screwed by Race Prep in California with the heads they did for me. They claimed 335 cfm at .600 lift, and hp numbers in the mid 600's easy. What I got ended up flowing an amazing 287 cfm and making 556 hp at 7200 rpm. Motor made what a head flowing 280something cfm should make, so I have the instructor of the head class at SAM reporting the heads right now. He's pretty decent, so hopefully they'll end up flowing something in the neighborhood of 320 cfm. That should put me around 620-630 hp. So it should be a pretty decent motor once it's running again, but right now I'm just busy working on other projects, aka, getting my shop started. So the car is on the back burner. It should be going next year sometime though...

Case in point, I highly recomend against anyone hoping to make serious power with the acclaimed "330+ cfm max velocity heads". If you want some serious heads done, pm me.

Sorry to see you get screwed like that Chuck. I always wonder about those places. Not many of them have came through for anyone.

I got to the point that I decided to just start with a head that flowed 320 to begin with and go from there. I figure I can't get let to far down from there.

Then again Like you I have to finsh get other stuff taken care of. I am begining to wonder if I will ever get to finish My poor car

Every time I saw their banner ad at the top of the page for "330+ cfm" LT1/LT4 heads, I always wondered. I guess now we know the truth. 550+ RWHP, no less. Maybe the guy in LT1 Tech who thinks he's going to end up with 660 NA RWHP should buy a set of their heads...
