Waking Up a Turd
What kind of cranking pressure should i have if this engine truly had 10-1 compression?
There's the rub.
@Mile Maker
Where exactly are you in Alberta or at what elevation?
With a 284/284/108 in at +4, you'd be looking at an Ica of 66*
At 2250 ft, with a TRUE 10/1 Scr, and an Ica of 66*, you'd be hoping for 148psi.
If you truly had 148psi, your bottom-end take-off would feel like a 318Magnum to about 3000 rpm, which with 275/60-15s and 3.23s is about 30mph. 5000 in first is about 48 mph, and second will get you ~80
That cam is barely waking up at 5000. It might powerpeak at 5400, and the 1-2 shift might want to be at 6000.Second should pull to 92@5700. If you stick it in third you'll probly lose ET.
At this point, shifting at 5000, you could probably go faster with a cam two sizes smaller. You need to rev that thing!
