D-1SC with an F14 cam?
D-1SC with an F14 cam? I'm new to forced induction so any help would be apreciated. I know this would not be the ideal cam but I really like it and would like to know if you guys think it's doable. Specs are 232/234 .598/.598 on 112 lsa. I know 114 or 116 would be better so would advancing the cam with my adjustable double rollmaster timing chain help? I also plan on a set of AFR heads but don't know which would match my cam and be good for FI. The heads will be first but I plan to get the supercharger soon after. I'm looking for any advise because obviously I don't know too much about FI yet. My other mods shouldn't make too much difference but I'll list them anyway. Yank SS4000, Long tubes, true duals no cats sweet thunder mufflers, asp pully, 3.73s, a lot of mods to help with traction and all the basic bolt-ons. I'm right at 400rwhp right now and would like to get to about 550-600 with conservative boost. So what do you think, can I work with this setup?
We install a Comp camshaft that we have specially ground, for customer's who want to have a lopey idle, and either plan on installing some sort of forced induction, or already have it. The spec's are 232/240 at .050 .595/.608 lift with a 115 lope separation. This cam works very well in a forced induction applications, and yet it will still give the engine a lopey idle. We sell it for $379.99.
When looking for cylinder heads, look for a set that will drop your compression down to 9.0/1 to 9.5/1, since you are looking ahead to forced induction. Bob

Thanks for the info. I'm not looking to get a new cam though. Thats a nice size cam so I would think mine isn't too large, may not be perfect but would work ok. Out of the AFR choices of heads, which ones would get me close to that compression? Is there any custom porting that would help the heads flow well for forced induction? I'm pretty sure I want to go with AFR just not sure how to tell which size will make what compression with my cam. Anyone want to give my a quick lesson on how you get your compression where you want it? I'd like to start shopping for heads so feel free to give me any suggestions on heads, a little info on why would be good too. TIA.
that cam is not the best for a fi application. Will it work , yes.. Will it be the most optimum for your setup no.
You typically want a split duration 6 degree split emphasis on the exhaust.
the 224/230 on a 114/115 is a popular choice.
You don't need a big cam with fi, you just want to increase efficiency.
Hell there are people that have run smaller cams than that and made big power.

Will 72cc chambers and this cam be a good combination at 10psi boost. I am planning on forging the stock lower end also.
you dont want a real lumpy cam the driveablitly sucks. You don't want sound you want performance.

What sort of power band ? have you any dyno graphs ? I'm looking to change my 230/236 on 112 LSA
It doesnt idle as nice as I'd like, and feel Im lacking low-mid range power.
I'll be upgrading to a 382 very soon, so would like to swap cams then.
