I think the 0.590 cam has 0.393 lobe lift, which should be 0.628 before lash with a 1.6 rocker. I might be doing the math wrong though?



My mistake, I thought you were running the 557, you got it right!

And I’m not sure in the 4150 vs 4500 carb being a gain, but enginemasters ran an XP 4150 which is dual pattern. I’m still figuring out how I will run a 4150 on the intake (which adaptor), but if you’re going to eventually go stroker I would think a 4500 will help you.

I’m not sure that the extra plenum volume on the Super Victor didn’t help EngineMasters tests, and I’m scared to run the Indy 440 2D.
