Edelbrock heads (cam selection)

Is the cam installed already? Cuz if not, there are way faster cams than that one, and there is no way I would run it.Like was already said. That one will totally suck unless you have a lot more convertor. You can get 230 cams with high 260s to mid 270s duration that will keep the Dcr up higher with your 10.4Scr. That will let you keep the 2800TC, and make rpms of less than 3000 way more fun to be in.
Conversely, you can get way more .050 duration with less advertised, if you really need the big duration. But if you do that, the converter will again be a hinderance.Look for a cam that has 45 degrees or less spread between advertised and .050. For your application, you will need one with really fast ramps, like a solid or a roller. But if you really insist on the big stuff, you are gonna need to port those heads. I think I just spent $3000 for you there; see what I mean?
-My OOTB Eddies do pretty good with a 230*@050 cam that is 276 advertised. That is a 45* spread. This size cam IMO is very street friendly, while with the right springs and set-up pulls hard to deep in the 6000s. I like to wind it out to 7000 as often as I can, cuz it sounds outrageous, goes there, and is still pulling.
- Hughes Engines built a similar engine. IIRC they claimed theirs made 437/437 or something close to it.HotRod Magazine also built a similar engine.
-When I built mine, I had Nitrous in the back of my mind.But after I drove it,I was quite happy with it just as it was. And since I had no interest in racing it , nor was I interested in bragging rights, I shelved the NOs idea. I have never missed it.I have my hands full staying outta trouble with what I got.
