Help with Finding DCR
Help with Finding DCR I need someone to calculate DCR for two cams. I don't have excel so I can't use the spread sheet.
Motor Specs
Forged 346 12/1 comp ratio
ET 215cc milled to 59cc cambers
Custom diamond nitrous pistion(not sure on specs but has slight dome)
.045 cometic gasket
Cams are the same but with different intake closing points and ICL
Both cams are comp grinds. LSK intake and XER exhaust
First cam would not run on 93 octane/Getting knock in hot weather.
dur @.050 235/240
lift .6xx/.6xx
lobe sep 111
ICL 109.5
IVC of 47 degrees
15 degrees of overlap
next cam
dur @.050 235/240
lift .6xx/.6xx
lobe sep 111
ICL 111
IVC of 48.5 degrees
15 degrees of overlap.
I know I need to be in the 8.9 or lower to run on 93 octane.

First cam mentioned is my old cam but at IVC of 47 it would get knock on 93 octane when hot outside. I had a new cam specd and installed It has a IVC of 53 degrees. It runs great on pump gas but lost alot of hp/tq under 5500 rpm. I lost 15 rwtq at peak and 15-20 rwtq under the curve. I also lost 15-20 rwhp under 5500 rpm. I think on a stock cube motor the IVC of 53 degrees is to late. Just trying to get some power back and run on 93 octane.
Current cam in car.

15 degress overlap.
There is one other cam I spec'd using XER lobes to be easier on valve train.
XER lobe @.050 238/ XER lobe @.050 242

lobe sep 112
icl 110
IVC 49
16 degrees overlap.
So I need to know the DCR for these cams. Thanks for everyones help.

Very cool, Thanks for the help. I can see why the first cam did not work on 93 octane. Looks like the cam straight up 111 ICL should work or the 238/242 cam. Thanks again.

I was using a cam spec calculator and it said 15.1. So I just rounded. I'm just not a big fan of cams with LSA in the 113/114 area. I think that advancing it 4 degrees is a band aid. That would mean that it would have +4.5 advanced. I'd rather spec a proper cam for my app. I've always used cams in the 111-112 lsa. I'm not saying that it is wrong just my opinion. The tighter LSA seems to give better low to mid power. That is where races are won usually on 60ft and 1/8 mile. For instance my previous cam would 60ft 1.57-1.59 all day on 17 inch ss wheels. The current cam I can't get to 60ft better that high 1.7 dead hooking(acutually bogs of line). Let me see if I can post a pic of my old cam on the 275/40/17 ET streets. Thanks again with all the advice/help.
