In that case FIX the combo not change the camshaft. Have you seen a cam spec card from Mike Jones and what he wants to be able to spec a cam?
Here's what he said about the info offered:
Eric said he's giving more info, then most people give.
He probably should have looked at my cam recommendation forms.
What's the bore, stroke, and rod length?
What's the rocker ratio.
Which hydraulic lifters will he be running? can the person sending in the cam, send in the lifters to be run with it?
He said the pushrods won't be changed. What base circle are they set up for ? Where they set up for "Mid Lift" geometry ?
For the .660" lift, how will that be checked ? Will he put an indicator on the retainer to check lift, or check the lift at the lobe, and multiply it by the rocker ratio?
Why is he running a 1,000cfm carb on an engine that will only pull less than 750cfm at the 7,000 peak ?
Why is he running a manifold that's too big for the RPM range he wants to make power in ?
Did Eric offer up the carb specs? Maker, venturi size, throttle bore size, Jetting, MAB, IFR, IAB, and PVCR?
Did he state the timing curve specs? What is the initial, total and advance increments?
Why he wasn't sending a cam:
Yet, I watched a 15 minute video, where he promised he'd give all the info I needed, and it was extremely lacking on info.
IMO, that's the reason why he's not going to get very many takers. It's got nothing to do with anyone being "Chicken".
The smartest person in the world can't give the correct answer to an equation that is incomplete.
I wouldn't place much faith in a Youtube personality myself. Mike has obviously done a lot of dyno testing.
