I would stick to 9.5:1 and run a smaller cam...will have the correct cylinder pressure with the right cam.
My choice for a cam would be a custom grind on a tight lobe center...maybe around 226@ .050 on a 107lca.
JMO...
What should the cyl press be w/ 9.5:1? (My cam card suggests 170)
You suggest a 226 107lsa... what lift? Is that your recommended dur/lsa for a light port job or ootb w/ 2.02's?
Wont a cam w/ a lsa narrower than 110 be slouch on the street and pull little to no vac @ idle?
Whats the min vac for pwr brks and decent idle signal?(I've been told 12"-14"). Idk much about cam grind geometry. What other numbers do i look at other than dur/lift/lsa/icl?
What cam company should I go with, comp,crane,lunati,hughes? Do comp/crane take account for the .904 lifter.
The flow numbers on your website are after a light port job correct?
What can they flow fully ported?
Whats the limitations with Scatt's I beam rods, can they handle 600-650hp?
Is their a substantially negative weight increase between I rods and a cast crank and H rods and a forged crank that I should consider if I'm not REALLY serious with future F/I or bottle. Now would be the time to decide.
After listening to this beast, I think a blower will definitely be in the future. It would most likely be in duster/scamp or a satellite by this time. Then again I do have a spare hood to cut up if it wouldn't fit under my R/T hood :grin:. It's probably equivalent to a 4"-5" cowl.
