This seams to me like a complete waste of money you could have built a 302 with AFR's with a nice cam and get 331HP! with a mild build on that motor you should be an easy 450HP. The cam you have with the 110* probably lopes pretty hard but is in all aspects a stock cam other wise. .592 ish cam would have had great street manners nearly the same lope but produced a lot more power and ok I understand the roller lifters but not in an application to only produce 331HP roller tips are to help preserve HP when building many ponies but I would have never used dog bone retro fit concidering the other places you sank money definatly should have went "Z" link retro fit roller lifters and you will never have the lifter twist never ever! What size headers are you using? definatly think about going to a 1-3/4 if you step the cam up. is this a FI motor or carbed? any how good luck I just don't understand! |
whats hard to understand? thats 331 RWHP not flywheel hp, and you don't seem to understand what a 408 or any stroker is about........... its about
torque! did you notice his torque does not drop below 375ftlbs before 4500 rpm and it peaks at around 405ftlbs? He has to meet canadian emmision test and he is running his power through an aod. He is making around 425 flywheel hp with only a as you say "mild" build. You also answered your own question about why he went with his cam choice, its a reduced based circle cam and the choices are limited. whats so hard to understand?
