Cam HP capability
Ill try and word my question another way -
Every cam has a maximum potential which can be reached if the rest of the engine is big enough and ugly enough....at some point a really good engine won't make any more power because the cam has "maxxed out" and can't fill the cylinders quickly enough or well enough.
Does the cam I listed have the "potential" to make 400HP in the right combo, and how would we know this?
Put another way - we know a 202@ .50 .388 lift cam will NEVER make 400HP -
But HOW do we know this? Is there a formula?
So how do we know which profile cam to buy when we have a certain HP target.?
Im trying to keep this question generic - rather than about my combo - because I know my combo can be jigged in the heads or the cam to make the target -
BUT I want to know can this cam make the target - in the right combo?
(Not talking gas, EFI or blower btw)
