But have it ground with a 110 or 112 LSA
3:91 gear and a 4 speed
Thanks


That cam will work okay in a 505 with 3.91 gears and a four speed. How heavy is the car? I assume it is a street strip deal which is why you're using the dual plane? Are you going flat tappet due to budget reasons or something else? I'd probably use a hyd roller for street use and a solid roller for drag race but a solid flat tappet can work if you're working with a tight budget.


Yes street/strip car I go to the track once a month. I believe the car is about 3600 lbs now (318 3spd on the tree) bottle cap hubcaps,radio delete car. I'm using the dual plane because I can't find a 337 intake and I don't want to cut a hole in the hood. I'm using a solid lifter cam because I love the way they sound with the rockers making noise.

I filled out the form on comp cams website for them to recommend me a cam and they never got back to me.

Thanks for all the responses
