Thread: Camshaft advice (again...)

Tweet

Get some Rhodes lifters,they bleed off duration and lift under 3000 rpm for better torque and dynamic compression.

Exactly.....

Look at this Crane at 266 degrees ground on 110. Check out the recommended static compression ratio in the upper right hand corner, 8.5 to 10. That's a long ways from 7.83:1.

Several members have suggested increasing the static compression ratio by thinner gaskets/head shave and I think that is valid advice. Shawnlee has come up with a great suggestion also, with the Rhodes lifters. I've used them and they work.

Pat thinks the cam will be ok straight up and has a lot more experience with big block Chevies than I do. I just know what the numbers tell me.
