I am considering a cam with about the same duration for my new motor. I think the 13 CR should be enough for that cam (more might be better), mine will be 13.4 so it is close to yours. I do have a 3 speed trans so I am going for more hp rather than midrange torque. A good race car has 5500-6000 converter anyway! LOL My old motor had more torque than it needed any way (279/287 at 0.050 cam).
With you installing it at 105ish with 112 LSA that is advanced plenty, I might have only put it at 109. Let us know how the PG does at the launch. Didn't you have a little less CID last year?
The nice thing about the the belt drive is I can retard it and see if it likes it better than the 104.5 degrees.
Yes last year the motor was a 500 cid so I've increased it 26 cid".

So what's the one thing I didn't check (clearance wise) and none of my Moparts buddies asked me about?
It blew up on the second pass if that helps anyone... Chunks of piston made their way up to the lifter valley.
Post above tboomers
Ok I'm old and blind I guess. But I haven't found another post. Point me in the right direction with a link.

Wade, did you get a full run in on the first pass, or did you just do a breakin run? I have respect for your honesty on the good or bad that happend to your car. Im about to do the same first run testing. Good or bad I will disclose the outcome too. Some would hide it or disappear out of ego issues. Glad to see your not one of them.
