Let me say first that I understand that this subject has been covered to death. I have read so many past posts that my brain is numb and I had to have eye surgery. I want to be able to represent myself well at club events at Sebring. That is the most extreme except a dream to run the Silver State. I will run it on the street also, mostly to car show/events. Street drivability is not my major concern. I love the sound of solid cams and a lope. I only need enough vacuum to operate my brakes.
What I am working with:
Block- 4 bolt. , .0030 bored, 10/10 stock crank
Stock rods (polished, magnafluxed. Peened, checked for true and twist).
Boss domed pistons.
All balanced
Lifter bore bushings and cam bearing oil restrictors.
Stock 4V quench heads. Cleaned up ports with slight polish. 1.73 roller rockers.
Intake- either the Buddy Barr Boss for Holley or old Torker.
Big Bore headers – Jet hotted inside and out. Stock mufflers.
Holley Carb – I have 2 mechanicals, 750 or 850 cfm.
I hope this is enough information to get opinions from the Pros on this sight. You guys know who I mean. I need simplicity. Just what information I need to contact a cam company and get in the ballpark. I have been leaning towards Comp Cams if the blank are US made. I understand that every ones opinion varies. I don’t want to get so crazy that I stand a chance of piston/valve problems. I know this is painfull for some of you, but I need your input.
