Not trying to bust your chops, but 108 works where 108 is the right LSA for the combination, regardless of small block, big block, or whatever. Four of my last five BB cams have all been 108, because that's been a good choice for those combinations. If I made significant changes, I'd expect the LSA and/or duration might need to change, too. I've got a nice 109 LSA solid roller that I never tried because I didn't have the right rocker ratios on hand to show its true potential. That cam grinder wanted to put it on 110, but we split the difference on his preference for 110 and mine for 108.

I can't ready Andy's mind (nor my wife's, even though she thinks I'm supposed to be able to), but I suspect anyone who wants to send him a $1000 to offset parts / teardown / dyno expenses might "influence" what he's interested or willing to test. I've got enough first-hand experience now from multiple dyno sessions to know that stuff gets spendy fast, especially if it turns into more of an R&D session than a straight test & tune of a single combination.


Yeah no doubt about that. I'm fortunate to be in a position where I have the resources to do this type of testing but still there are limits. I might have the time to dink around with engine testing but people around me don't have the time so I have to respectful of them. The guy who runs the dyno has to make a living and he can't just play engines with me all day since he needs to get work out the door in order to feed his family. Given that, I can only squeak in some dyno testing "fun" about 4 or 5 times a year. So I have to pick and choose what I'll test.
