Reply to "racing camshaft recommendations?"

All these cams will work with 180 headers but what George said about cam centerlines comes more into effect with them. They provide the almost zero back pressure that something like a 108 centerline cam needs.

Caution should prevail on picking that kind of a cam though. It really will tend to give the engine much more of a race engine list of characteristics rather than a street engine.

Probably 110 is as tight as you should go even with them.

I will say that even in a group of Ferrari's, Lamborghini's and the like at an Italian car day event, the sound of mine will stop everyone from what they were BS'ing about and it's entrance does not go unnoticed.

It does have to do with the sound of a Detroit v-8 in a group of dual everything Italian exotics though. It's really what como se dici, the Commadore hated about Americans. They are just so, so...working class.

He never did get over being beat 1-2-3 by "an irrigation pump engine" (427 Ford at LeMans in '66). I guess I just fit right into that scenario?

He would hate me for having my uggly station wagon engine "dressed up" with nice Italian carburatore I would guess. The sound is just so, so, offensive. Big Grin

On the other hand, Alejandro might just love it? Wink
