My potential compression ratio
So I have been calling around to get custom grinds to lower my dynamic compression, looking for the magic intake valve closing point.
Here is what I got so far for my efforts
Isky Racing Cams
They recommended their 280-Mega cam, an off the shelf grind
280 adv dur
232 dur @ .050
.485 lift w 1.5s
.517 lift w 1.6s
108 Lobe center
Lunati
They also recommended an off the shelf cam, their 30402 grind
228/235 dur @ .050
.495 INT lift w 1.6
IVO @ 8, IVC @ 40 (.050)
EVO @ 51.5, EVC @ 3.5 (.050)
110 LC
Howards Cams
They recommended a hyd flat tappet cam, custom ground on any LC I want.
230 dur at .050
.496 INT lift w 1.6
.504 EXH lift w 1.6
110 LC would be my choice
IVO @ 9, IVC @ 41
EVO @ 51, EVC @ 3
12* overlap
Comp Cams
Spoke with technician at length, got 3 cams recommended, 1 Hyd Roller and 2 hyd flat tappets
Hyd Roller
230/236 dur @ .050
.480 INT lift w 1.6
.490 EXH lift w 1.6
IVO @ 5, IVC @ 45 (.050)
EVO @ 48, EVC @ 8 (.050)
On any LC I want from 106-112, I would choose 110
Overlap of 13*
Hyd Flat Tappet #1
-flat tappet version of the Hyd Roller Cam above
Hyd Flat Tappet #2
236/240 @ .050
.480/.480 lift w 1.6
IVO @ 8, IVC @ 48 (.050)
EVO @ 50, EVC @ 10 (.050)
On any LC I want from 106-112, I would choose 110
Overlap of 18*
Still waiting to get info from Elgin and am willing to get more grinds from other mfgrs if anyone can recommend a few
I think I am actually leaning towards the Comp HFT#2 at this point but I am not at the point of making any decision, but I will take any opinions offered
