Whiplash Cams (318 LA)

I have never installed a cam cuz it makes a lumpy idle( that Duster sounds good tho). No. I choose the cam to put the power in a certain rpm range and to have a certain powerband, dictated by the tranny ratios, at that rpm.Then crank the Scr up, to optimize the Dcr.
How it idles is of no consequence to me.
While the Whiplash philosophy works, for some, .....................................
The only way to increase cylinder pressure with a cam is to close the intake sooner. That's not the way to make power. The way to make power is to open the valves as far as possible and hold them open for as long as possible, and to induct as much air as possible.( it's always about getting the air in), and to then compress the charge as much as possible, commensurate with the available fuel, and finally,light it off at just the right time.
Closing the intake early, opening it just a lil, and then having to run premium gas on top of all that, is just whiplash philosophy.Sure sounds fast tho.
