You can't or won't divulge cam specs?

That info is what the thread is about. Helping other guys get it done.

I wont. Not trying to be an azz but we spend a ton of money and dyno time testing cams for every few HP and really do not want to help another stock racer out. We have to keep stock lift, .462/.473, but can change the event timing and duration around. Typically duration @ .050 can be anywhere from 256 to 278. I use split duration on both the high comp and low comp engines. Low comp engines use more duration and different event timings. The piston to valve in the above deck high comp engines makes cam fitting a real challenge. Also helping these engines out are hydraulic valve trains that allow us to RPM these things over 7200. The transmissions are ultra trick and have custom gears to make use of the power bands we employ. Typical 60' for the high comp car is 1.32 to 1.34. The low comp car goes 1.37 to 1.39. For stockers 60' is everything.

bingo, most have no idea what it takes to make a stocker go fast. you're right, no ones business!!!! thanks
 
I didn't know it was that kind of car. And I understand keeping cam and other specs a secret. These kind of engine/cars have been listed here before under the hush hush rule.

I do not pick up this kind of engine car build when it is posted and constantly get this answer which I pretty cool with. No doubt about it. We're good.

Good luck in the races and thanks for posting. While most are not going to go this route, it still helps out.

Been a few years and a few more dollars since I first posted about my 318'd 72 Dart. It used to run 15.74, that was before the tired ol gal was torn apart, and given the rebuild it deserved. Block was boiled and de-burred, cylinder walls were just honed, crank was turned to remove grooves and high volume pump was installed. Keeping stock bore and stroke and adding a comp cams .454/.454 cam, 714 heads, 625 Street demon, keeping the Offenhauser intake and adding a 2000 stall converter. It now runs 14.52@93 MPH with the same 3.23 gears and 27 inch tires. Still haven't have her all the timing it wants and there is a nice set of slicks to be put on as well. Should be fun. Stay tuned.....
 
Wow! Awesome! Have any pictures of the ride and mill? Keep at it!
 
Here you go

OK I'll throw mine in here. Been a while and no longer have this car but I remember what I did. 68 Barracuda fastback. 360 balanced rotating assembly from Huhges engines 0.30 over hyper pistons with 10:1 compression. M-1 single plane intake with 750 Holley double pumper carb, headers 3" exhaust through Dynmax Super Turbos. Cam was .510 hydraulic Racer Brown. 904 trans full manual valve body with 8" 4500 convertor. 8 3/4 rear with 4:56 gears on 9" slicks. Heads were stock J with 1.88/1.60 good valve job. Ran best of 11.83 @ 109 60" time usually 1.57. Should have never sold that car....

YEAH, but I like to let the guys know what fast is some times, SOMETHING FOR LITTLE ENGINE GUYS TO SHOOT FOR "
 
I’ll add one to the list.

Nothing trick at all.....

68 Satellite(those are A bodies..... right?)
3580 lbs, 4.10’s, 29.5” slicks, SS springs, lil red converter with weight removed
Re-ringed 68 440 short block
346 heads with NAPA store valve job
Crower springs and retainers

12.40’s@110 like clock work

Swapped to an underdrive pulley, cut the oil pressure relief spring down to get the pressure down from about 100 to 55psi...... and the biggie was to swap the Performer to an original Torker.
12-teens at 111-112, best of 12.12.

That would have been in 90/91.
 
1975 Duster 3250 race ready with driver

Shifted at 6000, went thru traps 6400-6600.

Ran low 11.teens in good air. More typical 11.20's on a normal day
