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.

170-175 cyl. psi would be ideal. My heads get opened up to 2.02 valve and the cut leaves a little ledge in the bowl. I blend this away...that's it. I don't think you'd see much more power down low with additional porting.
The I beams will handle 650HP no problem. They are much lighter than an H beam. Cast crank is all you need. I use comp cams, I spec the lobes myself.
Before I spec a cam I would need all of your info. Tight lca hits very hard early and pulls like a freight train.
You'll have at least 14" of vacume with that cam...but I strongly recommend that you add a vacume canister to eliminate any chance of low vacume at the brake booster. They are small and easy to mount.
If you decide to have me spec the cam, just PM or email me all of your info and I'll run the cam specs I decide on by you before I order it. You will not be disappointed I assure you of that.
The specs I shot at you were just from the hip...actuall specs will probably vary slightly.
