Cam intake closing importance

And I would never stick a roller in there,lol
But you really need to bring the compression up to match whatever cam you put in there so you don't need to rev so high. I mean 7200 is crazy, so they tell me.lol, especially with that 528cam
In your teener it probably power peaks at around 5600, maybe a lil earlier. So that calls for a shift rpm of maybe 6000 with the Eddies, unless yur like me

I would put another faster solid-lifter flatie in there , but I would first take a buncha ccs outta the heads, or outta something. Those Eddies will take 185 and more psi all day long.
But by this time , wait for it,
it might be cheaper to have more cubes.
In defense of the 318, 105 is pretty doggone good

Also that .528 cam looks real fine; it just needs a heckuva lot more compression.
That's advertised to be 284/284/112/60 overlap/[email protected]/ lash of 28/32

In contrast, I'd never run a flat tappet again. I agree with YR to run a solid as well.

However, AJ is probably right about peak power RPM. I'd have it dyno'd to find out the real numbers an where it's making those numbers. I've run that cam in a big block several times and they make peak HP between 5600-5800RPM.

I'd be looking at a roller cam with a much tighter LSA. Yes Yellow Rose, I just said that. YOu don't have the compression or cubes to get away with that size cam on a 112LSA.
