Complete the following sentence: "A TR224 on a 346 is (analgous to/the same as) a _______ on a 383"
It seems like a 224/224 cam is pretty universally thought to be 'about average' as a selection on a 346. Decent idle, good powerband, and all that.
Given the extra displacement of a 383, about how many degrees of duration can you add to get a similar performance characteristic as far as idle/powerband, and the like? 228/228? 230/230? 236/236?
I see that most folks run cams in the 230-236 range, But it seems folks that build their motors tend to be relatively more extreme with their cam selection.
This isn't a "what cam should I run in my 383" thread, but just me trying to get a feel for just how much cam the extra displacement can 'eat up'.
Thanks all,
-Jake

any other contributions? A range of 230 to 244 is pretty large...
