.480/230 cam in an 8.5 CR 360?

Buy the correct cam. I’m not in the advance the **** out of it because the cam is too big.

If you are advancing the cam more than a couple of degrees from having the overlap triangle centered it might run better but it’s hurting power.

No compression and 230 at .050 is not good.
Maybe not optimal, but millions of builds have been built that way and turn out fine. Not everybody is looking to wring every single bit or power out of one. Some people need to use what they have.
