camshaft for torque
ok my last post was a little general to say the least,so ill start on the basics
(this is for a 350 chevy sb by the way)
being a series III landy my 'racer' is quite heavy. obviously being a heavy off-roader while being used for daily driving it needs a short duration cam with buckets of torque. BUT ill be doing rallies etc. so ill be reving it at times too, so just a little top end power would be good (max 5500 rpm)
having looked around/read the tech, i was thinking of....
around 112 lobe separation
215 degress duration at 0.050
270 duration
0.500 lift
any particular makes to go for? Crane or Comp Cam prehaps.
will i loose a lot of top end power if reduce the duration by 5 or 10 degrees for more torque and mid power? is this combo ok as a start point?
cheers guysLast edited by lobster; 11-23-2005 at 11:01 AM.
Visited a family member at Dockery Ford from the time I was 1 year old through their ownership and then ownership change to Morristown Ford. Dockery was a major player in the Hi Performance...
