Valvetrain tuning ?
+Advancing the cam on first install
+Higher Ratio Rocker arms for more lift
+Adjusting the lash (tighten or loosen) to advance the Valve opening
I will be doing some valvetrain work on my 383 stroker soon. my cams has a max lift just under .50 and is a very "streetable" cam. my questions are...
...How will these changes affect my overall power curve. my understanding is that most will hurt my low end power. but will "greatly" increase my high rpm power.
...Any comments or concerns i should have before doing this.Is it even worth it and will the changes be noticeable.
... this car will be a weekend warrior with only a few visits to the strip
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
