road car cam for my 318

Funny. A 112 and 115 LSA both kicked his *** on HP and TQ.

Yeah …. Interesting. That little cam in my Barracuda has a boatload of low rpm torque ! Way more than I expected from a 222/229 on a 112 .
Which is why I think STRs current cam may be fine but in need of an engine tune .

That AVS carb despite what everyone says is a ***** to get spot on . IMO…. I still have some work to do on my 800.
Running way rich at cruise.

What did Eric's testing prove? The only thing that I can see is this: if you have all these variables such as pick any LSA you like, pick any duration you like, pick any valve lift you like, pick any lobe series you like........surprise, surprise......someone will be the winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is what this test proved, nothing else. It was a joke & if the believers think this test proved something, I am waiting to here what it is.......
It is like testing two cyl heads, one with higher CR & better flowing ports....& being surprised that the high CR head won....

One thing it show even supposedly upper builders will vary wildly in their cam selection and results and seemly similar cams can have a decent difference at that level and there's seems to be not one right answer look at the top 5-10 they very quite a bit even though there is some similar traits.

I'd take the cam with 12 degrees of overlap.........
