Does this prove David Vizard's 128 lsa formula ?
building on this,
@273 how many cams have you swapped, as in a back to back or even in a 2bbl to 4bbl saturday thrash session and then ran?
Oh yes! Oh yes! Oh yes!
Our old club had an amazing deal with the local Dodge dealer. How sweet was it?
It was this sweet. Monthly I’d purchase a new camshaft to swap in and try out in every avenue I could get my scrawny *** to and hit the hammer all day and all night
I’d tinker constantly. Swap out intakes like crazy. I had about 14 different intakes and the ones that were the same were stock and modified. Spacers, big and small AFB, AVS, TQ swaps. Modified & stock LD-340, Torquer intakes, M1, strip doms etc…
Swap headers out, exhaust tube sizes , mufflers stacked laying down hip high. Piles of clutch set ups, 8-3/4 center sections lined up in paint buckets.
All of this crap in a shed, corner of the garage, ready for the next cam change out. I ran through so many cars, the local junk yard town guy gave me his number and said just call me, I’ll be right over. Personal relationships with junk yard owners for a decade .
Getting phone calls of what they just had dragged in and if I want first dibs.
I did this because there was no internet to look up anything on, just books, what your trusted buddy did, and what your head had learned. That’s how you flippin learned because everybody else ether lied or didn’t know WTF they were doing.
Swap a cam out on the first of the month and by months end, I was picking up the new cam. Ran MP, Comps, Cranes, blue box specials with pink fuckin roses on it!
Then start with the dual planes and go to the single planes while testing every carb in house from stock to modified. Change the headers out. Hangs the mufflers out. When I’d run through everything I had on line to change out, it was the end of the month again, time to pick up the new cam.
I’ve run cams on LSA’s from 114 down to 106 from 218@050 to the bottom of the page listing for one reason, just because it’s there.
That’s what I did for years on an obsession level.
The brain never stopped thinking on the next experiment. The next cam. What new thing came out.
This I did for years and consistently.
iirc, you had a crate motor that you did or were going to change the cam?
No
i ask this not as a knock against you, but out of genuine curiosity. you seem all about the cam theory but has any of that been put into practice?
Oh yes! I can say what I did, yet again, but then again, as 273 pointed out… why would I bother. Seriously. Why would I bother?
It’s advantageous for me to STFU and let the internet decide what’s best even if in glaring light it goes against what actually works…. Or not.
I get a bunch of **** at car shows where I have a lot of young guns and newbies to the hobby tell me I have no idea what I’m doing and site internet garbage.
The more I think of it, it almost makes me want to go racing again. Start makin money off of the fools. After all, I have no ******* idea what I’m doing.
**** it, changed my mind.
I’m out.
Excellent idea. Actually ******* brilliant idea.
