What kind of cam do you have tho? Would the numbers from the cam I gave you be a good combination or should I just get a hydro flat tappet?




My cam is pretty mild because I plan to go fuel injected when my wallet recovers from building this engine, and I don't plan on reving the engine over 5,500 RPM. It is the Comp XR286HR-10. Only 236/242 duration at 0.050", 286/294 @ 0.006". Advertised valve lift with 1.5:1 rockers is 0.544/0.541", with my 1.7:1 rockers it is 0.617"/0.614".

For a big engine it revs quick. You will want to have a rev-limiter. When I first took the car out I was suprised I did not hurt the engine when I over-reved the engine in first gear, and then it did it again in 4th gear when the clutch decided to slip.
