fooling my small block
well, sound is not my goal. I just happen to LIKE a lumpy sounding cam. what I want is as much cam as I can use within the limits of my combo, the primary criteria being that I can't yank the heads off to have guide work done right now, so my lift is limited severely, I can get away with maybe .465 or so before I start clipping seals, and I know this. My theory was that the tight LSA WILL draw more mixture into the cylinder, having the effect of increasing lost velocity and ADDING torque, which is something good to think about when you put j heads with 2.02's on a 318. And, Hughes engines seems to concur in this belief, look at the muscle car series, they do exactly this, and they state the results. "explosive torque off idle, no vacuum problems' but you loose on the peak, which is no big deal to me, if I drive it every day. You see what I'm sayin? Tell me, how can I get at least 215/216 and 450-460 lift for 200 dollars-cam and lifters- like the isky as opposed to the 350 plus for the crower with it's corresponing kit? You can't, cause every one markets very high lift cams now with lobe profiles that take advantage of the .904 lifter, which is awesome, and works great for alot of enthusiasts, but they forgot about people who can't afford to do head work, but want to do what 80% of the new mopar fans out here are trying for their first build: 340/360 heads on a 318, cause it's cheap, and accessable. Do you get what I mean Moper? but I do like a lumpy sound!! LOL! But please don't brush me off as a don't know, cause you got the wrong guy.
