Reply to "Questions regarding George's 275/285 Custom Street Cam Profile"

I personally use a 110 with the Webers. My impression is that in using a 112 to 114 because of the Webers, you are giving up 80 to 100 hp.

I realize that wasn't necessarily your intent but it should be said.

A "Weber" cam is cut for only one reason. Because of the fuel reversion.

The fact is, regardless of what anyone tells you, you can't ELIMINATE that. You can REDUCE it.

To me it's no BFD. I'd rather not give up the 100 hp.

The other thing with Webers is you will NEVER find the perfect camshaft. You will always be feeling that it isn't just right.

If you want a "perfect" system, go to IR fuel injection. Classic makes one that looks just like IDA's.

Don't be surprised though if you are forever writing new programs for it, 'cause (psst come 'ere) it will never be perfect either. Wink


If I were you I'd ask Mark to "define" what "a little" torque loss down low is?

I suspect maybe 15 to 20? If so, leave the cam selection alone and go with your first choice.

The 8 stack 48 ida's are picking up a little more than that all across the rpm range anyway, plus the solution to high performance camshafts which all tend to move the torque range up in the rpms, is to regear the car and not spend time in the range where it is lacking torque.

In cars this is relatively simple. The problem really is for trucks which need to pull hard right off of idle.
