Figure out what your target trap speed is and work backwards to figure out the trap RPM and then see where that puts you for the camshaft.


Me thinks you need to be in the 675 hp range. Andy - you don't think the TF270 would be a better choice?

I'm hoping to go low 10's in my 3800 - 3900 lb GTX (if I ever get it done). It made 713 hp 707 torque with TF 270 heads. Street/strip car.


Should do that easy, we went a best of 10.35@130 with our 3800lb@the line RR with only around 677 track calculated hp., 724ftlbs...street/strip car through the muffs.
