Factory hydraulic roller LA cam advice

Thanks for all of the advice everyone!
Sounds like I should definitely plan to add some rear gear - I will likely go with 3.91's

I would double check your compression figure. I built one similar with same piston and zero deck height a few years ago and it came in at 10.5.

Thanks! I was using 74cc for my cylinder head volume but after doing some more research it looks like the 308 heads range but are closer to 65cc so that would bump up my CR to 10.5:1.

Your looking at a cam on a LSA of 106 for maximum torque.

Ok, Thanks for the suggestion.

If you have the ability and tools, open the performer 318/360 port window up and blend it back in the runners. Run a 1" open spacer and you will get REALLY close to an RPM/AG intake performance wise.

I currently have a 1" spacer and am happy to try to open up the performer to flow better before I spend the coin on a different manifold.

Just to confirm: The "retrofit" style cams work in the factory hydraulic roller engines even though it is not a retrofit application?

Any input on what a reasonable price for the head work to run a cam with larger lift on the stock 308 heads would be? My local machinist said it could be $1k + which surprised me. I was trying to keep the build under a reasonable budget but the project is quickly spiraling :rolleyes:

Thanks again for the support and help!
