Hello All,
My name is Rob and I am a long time lurker and prolific reader but not a poster.
Here is my question:
I am building a budget bracket car that will see a fair amount of street time. I really don't see it being a DD, but I may drive it to work once a week or something. I need some help with cam selection.
The car is this:
74 Dart Sport. Some lightening bumper mounts etc.
4.10 rear
Subframe connectors welded in
Rebuilt rear springs
Comp Eng. Drag shocks on all 4-corners
The engine is this:
76 440-stock compression-re ring special...I know.....
Home ported 452's
130 LBS. on the seat springs
Street Dominator Intake
750 Eddy carb....I know.....
Schumacher Headers
3" exhaust
TCI 142222 convertor-I got it used, I think it is over 3k on stall
Trans being rebuilt next month
I currently have this cam on hand:
Hughes 2330 I think it is
.223-.230 at .050 with .504-.519 lift
I have access to the .474, .484 cams if needed...
Is there a better cam for my application? Not that I wouldn't like to run what I have. I would like to keep my springs and NIB 3-bolt timing set if I could. I have noticed Lunati sells 3-bolt cams.
Due to budget issues, I am not able to put compression in the engine. It will need to run with what it is for now. There will be performance left on the table for sure. I would be real happy with running low-13's for this year.
The rest of the car is fairly well set-up except for the engine....
Thoughts, opinions, go away newb......etc.
