Going to smaller cam: Too small???
Going to smaller cam: Too small???
Here`s what I currently got:
Stock short block LT1,AFR 190 w/53cc chambers/Ferrea 6000 valves,Comp solid roller:
230/236 @.050 .590/.565 (1.6/1.5) 112LSA straight up Lash:.016/.018
Timing- open close
intake: 3* 47*
exhaust: 50* 6*
Matching Comp valvetrain
1074 Fel-Pro head gasket and all the other typical bolt ons
190 hot cranking, 16.5 in. vacuum @ 850 rpm. mail order TPIS tune redline 6800rpm. It`s a real nice setup, wide powerband.
Have no idea what the DCR would be on this set up
I`m tossing around the idea of going to the next smaller Comp solid roller:224/230 112LSA 4*advanced. Looking to bring powerband down/gain some low end/not spin it as high.
230/236 cam is pretty good as far as streetability goes, slight surge at low rpm/low load conditions. Could be tuned out,maybe?
I know these are SMALL solid rollers compared to what some guys are running. Willing to give up all out HP.
I`m concerned about.... detonation of course
Yeah, I know you guys are saying "smaller!?" LOL
I guess I`m starting to get a little old!

Hello Alan,
