Guess ET for 318 ? With slicks ???
Car has 1 5/8 dynomax headers and 21 year old flow tec terminater mufflers.
The 750 dp is what i had ,and is not hurting the cars performance.
It has very good low end power,so much that i can't keep the tires from spinning,even on a roll in first gear.
The cam is perfect for a 9 to 1 motor and offers power all the way to 6000 rpm's.
Shifting lower could possibly give me a better et,but it's not a struggle to get that kind of rpm from it at all.
It goes to 6000 rpm's pretty quick.
On one of the last run's. i did shift it at 6000 rpm's into 1st, and then at 5500 rpm's into 2nd gear.
It went less mph.
The higher i shift it into first and second gives me the best mph.
I have only been to the track one time with it, so i will have to say that anything is possible at this time.
As far as a stock motor lasting,i have seen many stock motors last and never break.
There is not much difference between 5500 rpm's and 6000 rpm's.
If all it took to break it, was 500 more rpm's ,then how long would it last at any rpm??
If i said i was going to 7200 rpm,i would see your point.
The cam is a paw super stock industries camshaft but is really a crane cam made for paw.(crane cam's rest in peace)
If you think 6000 rpm's is high,then go to flatlander racing and look at the isky cam shafts they sell and there suggested rpm band compared to there size @ 50 thousands lift.
A cam they sell is 224 @ 50 and .465 lift with a 108 lsa.(280-hl)
My lift is .453 but all else is the same.
They give it a 6500 rpm band.
It really depends on what motor it's in.
This 318 love's to rev and hit's very hard into the next gear.
