Solid roller cam?
Solid roller cam? I bought a forged 370 for my turbo build. it has a custom grind solid roller cam...
My plan was to buy a set of shaft mount rockers to be able to run the solid roller setup, Now thinking about selling to run hyd. roller. This is for more of a track car than street, Any of you guys running a solid roller cam? How often do you have to adjust and how much of a pain in the *** is it?
Thanks

While LS2Formula's car is a solid roller, it really doesn't need to be and wouldn't be if he hadn't already had the Jesel rocker system leftover from a previous high rpm nitrous build. Rocker adjustment is a pain in the ***. If you aren't intending on turning 8K RPM and running a 5/4 race cam, hydraulic is your friend.
ok. i really dont want to take this cam out because everythings all together but i might have to...cobrakiller, I am doing a build similar to yours. what converter were you running on the 8.9 pass, how much boost? thanks

I run an FTI converter and it stalls around 4500-4800 RPM. 22 psi to run the number at my 3850-3900# race weight.

Verdad Gallardo Also, what are the numbers on the "solid" cam. You may be able to just throw in hydraulic lifters and call it a day. The first 2 "solid" cams that we got from Comp had hydraulic lobes on them.
i dont have the part number or anything. just the specs..how safe was that setup on 22psi? lift 647in/640ex duration over .050 242in/236ex 3500

Unless those 317's have some work, they got nothing past .580ish lift. No reason to use a cam with all that lift when the heads are done flowing so much lower. I would keep lift closer to .600 on the cam. Also, those heads already have poor exh flow as com pared to their intake flow. I would have the split go forward instead of backwards. In a nutshell, that cam may be good for a turbo setup but not yours IMO.

Never heard that lingo before lol. What are the details of LS2Formula's high rpm nitrous build? Just curious about the heads, cam, and nitrous.
Were. It's a turbo car now. It was basically the same as it is now but with a big cam. High 260's duration and lift in the 660 to 670 range IIRC. It's been a while. I'm trying to forget those days and it was so difficult to go fast. Boost is definitely the answer.
