Effect on Stroker - New Cam?
I'd tune a little more first, before the cam swap. But in the end, that may be what makes you the happiest with the car.
I am sure the proposed cam swap will lose top end power, but I wonder if the flatter curve will offset it, for a more driveable but similar overall performance.
I've read a lot of threads,and many go for very large cams, sometimes into the 260 @ 0.050 range for a street engine. Having never ridden in one with that size of cam, can't help but wonder at it's manners on the street. Maybe mine just needs more tuning, but that engine sure moves around a lot, although the car has a nice rhythm to it at idle...
Switching to a manual transmission really revealed the lugging nature of the cam. And, it barely pulls below 2500 rpm. going uphill in 5th at 60 mph requires a downshift when it dips below 2000, as it just loses mph.
Love the sound at idle, tired of the drive-ability, and inability to break into the 11's for the tradeoff.
