Hello moparts maybe you can help me understand more about .050 cam duration specs. I've talked to several cam manufacturers and people who know cams
supposely. How is it that guys are able to run 252° duration and run deep into 10's? How do you make enough low and top end power in a smaller ci with that conservitive amount of duration. I've heard people suggest 252-258° and 've heard 272-276 @ .050. Also some say between 520-550 lift and some say 620-660 lift. It just doesn't make any sence to me. Either of the cam specs seem to run good under most engine combos. Either 1 guy is shifting at 6000 or the other is 7500. But then I hear people shifting these low duration cams high? My combo is a 344 ci with W2 heads ported, 2.08" intake valves. M1 intake manifold with a lot of work, between 12:1/13:1 cr, 1 7/8 headers, 850 e85 holley carb, and I am wondering what the right cam choice is for this setup. Attended goal is mid 10's.. I'd just like to know something that multiple would agree on so it's not like well 5 guys have this and that opinion and the other 5 have the same opinion. Thanks Moparts
