i guess i should add this. the guy thats building the motor for me really likes the smaller cam. he feels the bigger cam would be too much and not be fun to drive on the street. he gives me a hard time when i say i want the bigger cam and tells me it's too much.
i feel with the smaller cam, i wasted my cash on the heads and intake. for one the intake is too much for the cam and the heads are over kill.
good think i can reuse the roller rockers. because i have a feeling next year i'll be installing the bigger cam.
from what desktop dyno 2003 says, theres a 20 hp differance between the two cams. 501hp to 521hp at the crank
torque is 401 at 2000 rpms on the small one and 380 @2000RPM for the bigger one.
looks like i could go with a 3000 stall for the small one and 3500 for the bigger one.
the car is around 3300-3400 lbs.
i'm thinking of getting the 3500 stall now so i don't need to buy another one when i put the bigger cam inbut then again that a lot of work for 20 hp
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
