Installing small cam in Stroker?

Ok that is a big difference. I wouldn't have imagined they would call that much compression difference a fair comparison.

And a 10.73:1 stroker motor with that bone stock cam isn't going to run a pump California 91 octane around here.

It would've been better but they were building a like 500 hp 410 this was just one of those I wonder if/ would do kind of thing, wouldn't make sense to cripple the final build.

The OP is starting out with a cam that seems a little bigger than the 2nd cam they put in that 360/408 test. And better heads. Wonder if that more performance starting point would respond the same.

That second graph was just a 5.9l before and after cam change, just to show what gains a mild cam would do to a magnum instead.

Here's a neat displacement shootout even though it's Chev, I think it's a good representative how displacement can move the powerband.

There the same factory combo's, 302 vs 327 are identical vs 350 that does have a slightly different cam otherwise the same.

I know everyone gonna say 350 wins cause of torque and I think in a streetable sense It does cause it operates at street friendly rpms. But if all geared and stalled optimally they should be similar performers.
