Ok that was a lot of rambling last night on my part, guess I was tired. Lets make this simple.
I have the X block, 4" forged crank, 6.123 H beam rods, fully ported Indy 360-1 heads, TTI 1-7/8 W2 headers and want to put together a cool street strip motor. To keep cost down im thinking. solid lifter flat tappet cam. I'm going to have to buy cam, lifters, rockers, and pistons.
Motor must run on 91 pump gas and be street strip friendly. As I said above I would probably drive it about 2,000 miles a year and run 5 to 10 drag events a year. I would hope it would last at least 5 years before a rebuild.
So what cam specs and rockers ratio to take advantage of these heads. I was leaning towards about a 11 to 1 compresson. Or I could probably run a flat top at about a zero deck at about 11.5 to 1
What kind of reliable HP and TQ could I get out of this engine keeping the RPM down in the 6500 to 7000 range?
