How NOT to build an economical or powerful 'teen

7.5" of vacuum with that camshaft? Something sure doesn't seem right. Retarded cam timing, not enough initial timing, something. WOW!!!

I thought maybe pushrods too long, but it's got adjustable rockers on it.

Totally agree which is why I checked the pre-load hoping to find jacked up lifters from too much pre-load.

I have had more than one bad experience with Mopar Performance grind cams. I would not even raise an eyebrow if this one turned out to be improperly ground-have seen it before. J.Rob
