Cam Card....Was not spec'd by me.....And remember I have rockers with higher ratio's

---

looking at his cam card it started out well, they used NF lobe design and lift rate in to popular lobe numbers. nf lobes were first made by ultradyne.now ultradyne=bullet they are very fast lift rate,then also sold by hughes but engle cams made all there cams. back to the card then the bullet core was ground by comp cams? thats were it goes south
too much duration for motor size on street(and its killing compression and low end power) with great flowing hemi heads you dont stagger cam lobes(like in wedge to help ext slow side) dont like the 4 degrees advance ground into the cam (its not a gm 350) also dont like the 110 lsa (it needs 106 or 108 lsa) to built lots of cylinder pressure so it wont be a dud with huge heads and valves. if cam was also ground then to comp cams big block gm lobe lift rate/profile it would slow that cam down. and yes hemi cam only fits a 426 hemi design motor the lobes are 180 swapped from all wedge motors. id build a small 600 lift solid roller for it spin it 8k then if wanted and power till rods come out.also check valve guides for wear and vac test all ports to make sure valves are sealing perfect,also check cam for bad lobes, its cam
or that.

Boogers and dogdays posts should be plenty to enlighten you. Im very familer with the term and its easy to understand.

You can only do so much area under the curve with a certain lift, diameter will regulate that. It was well explained IMO

So yes a Chevy type diameter LOBE design can be ground on a Chrysler LOBE. Its still a Chrysler cam, but its got a Chevy Lobe.

hey, we all cant know everything




EDIT, Also Im not Implying that Dragula has a Hemi cam with a chevy type Lobe design.

Trust me, I don't need "enlightened" on cam design nor how they work. I have probably had about 50 custom ground this year to my specs for various motors. Call the lobe whatever you want. As long as it opens and closes where I want it is all that matters to me..............but I will bow out of this thread anyway. Guess this stuff is just too far over my head..............LOL!!!

Hey, You asked to be enlightened, and you were.

50 or even 1500 custom ground cams have Nothing to do with , what you wanted to be enlightened about.

....What do you guys pay for having an engine dyno'd?

Well, the engine got down to the shop...We discussed going to a 528 and a real cam somewhere in the .640 lift range. And maybe a real convertor...

Depends on what you are going to do with the car

An 8" vertor will definately make better ET. But you may not like it's street manners.

Do the test to see how long it takes to fill a gallon can using the lines from the regulator.
