Cam Motion's Cam recommendation...
Cam Motion's Cam recommendation... I am hoping for ATLEAST 700rwhp/650rwtq @15psi on 93 Octane with my 383LT1 and T76 combo. I have a FMIC and alky setup. I havent decided on what to do about the headers (either home made or PTK hotparts). I have fully ported AFR210's that flow strong all the way up to .700".
.........Intake.......Exhaust (no pipe)
.200...143............103
.300...204............141
.400...247............173
.500...281............198
.600...308............219
.700...311............227
I told Cam Motion I wanted max hp, but still pass emissions. Here is what they came up with:
223/217 .540/.542 116+4
Seems a bit small doesnt it? Especially on the lift considering my heads flow pretty good. What do you guys think, and what kind of power did you guys make with your cam/setups?

If you had say 230 degrees, then maybe you'd be able to add more lift without worrying about having valvetrain issues, but they designed the cam to fit your needs so I would at least try it out before you start second guessing them.

I like solid rollers for just that reason. You can get have an agressive opening ramp and then leave the valve open for longer at higher lifts and then sharply bring it back down (the more "square" the shape of the lobe the more lift under the curve you will have and therefore more air will be allowed to enter).
