I would think about what I was willing to drive on the street converter wise. Then order the cam based on that. Then when you have all the specs. for the cam and the rest of the motor combination give all that info to the converter company. I want the converter guy to have all the info so they can set it up where it needs to be.



What I did on my last ride(street/strip) I tried to
set up the total package... what rpm will I want as
a max rpm.. so that takes the gear and tire and conv
slippage to figure that then base the cam on that
and the heads.. I came within 100 rpm but that was
due to the slippage I used was slightly high.. I
had a idea what I wanted for conv stall... when I
started that build I knew what I wanted for ET and
had a good idea what I could build the car to weight
wise..
so base on that calculated what HP was needed and
built on that idea.. it came out with a bit more HP
than I needed but I can slow it down if needed
