Thanks Ron, that is good advise. I will be calling him in the next few weeks. what comp and cam you running if ya dont mind?
I am running a D-dish piston to get 10.6 pump friendly comp and it has .045 quench. The cam is a Dwayne Porter custom solid flat tappet that is 264 and 270 @ .050 with .585 & .592 lift and a 110 LSA. I have it in the eng at his recomended 106 installed centerline. It actually came out at 105.5 so of course I left it there. I do use Hughes 1.6 roller tip rockers which puts the lift around .630 before taking out the .020 valve adjustment.
Also I do run 4.30's as I had them with my old 440 and still use them but I run a 30 x 9 tire. When I run about 60 mph on the highway I turn about 3200 rpm. And I shift around 6200 and trap about 6400 with that gear and tire and the 9.5 Dynamic converter I use.
Ron
