Head flow,vs. cam lift?......

Thanks Frosty. I tried to break it down in a simple manor and keep it on a basic level. Getting into it deep would loose a lot of people. I know there's a lot of new to the car world guys and for many, cams are a Voo-Doo black magic.

Sometimes, the K.I.S.S. method is best.

I learned about cams from reading, then experimenting. I was part of a MoPar club that had good relations with a dealer. They sold us parts for 10% over cost and we run there name on a banner at a club meet or on the side of the car at the track.

I would run down to them and just start ordering cams. If ya feel rich one day, LOL, purchase all the cams at 284 duration for your engine and see how they operate so differently. The well know 284/.484 has a few versions.

YES! Perfect example! The W2 head was and still is one really good head that cam make your engine one mean mutha. Back when this head was first introduced, the serious race guys (or perhaps the few crazy guys, as viewed from the street guy stance... LOL!)
Would run these heads.

Most cams offered in the 70's were not so aggressive. As next to what is on the shelf today.
