how to get power from a 318
"Use what you have" thats kind of the idea behind my stroker- I already had a set of destroked 318 pistons I was stuck with- so it was either build a blower 318 or a stroker. So I went the cheap route as a kind of experiment to see how much power I could get out of it on how little money- I feel pretty good considering I have a total of less than $1000 in it! (Its not fair though since I work at a machine shop and did all the work on my free time)
As for the comp cams- I've been noticing that too, they are getting to be popular, basicly because they're awesome! Not only in Mopars but everything- I've built Fords and Chubbies with them and they pull like crazy! The price is about normal for a decent cam- not overly expensive, but worth every dime. I have the smallest Xtreme Energy Hydraulic in my basicly stock Swinger (318- #302 heads, performer intake) and the first time out I kept shift for shift with a blown SB Elcamino- like full race stuff. I didn't beat him but he didn't beat me either. Try an Xtreme Energy and you'll never try another one. :thumblef:
