Double check my engine builder please 340 stroke

How did you guys figure out the Dcr without the advertised cam duration numbers?
In any case
I ran 11.3/8.6/175psi with a 292/108 in my 367 and it burned 87E10 quite happily.
I have also run 10.9/8.9@184psi with a 270/110,also on 87E
I currently run 10.9/8.7@180,with a 276/110 and still on 87E
The quench was maintained at .039 to .033
Engine currently has over 100,000 on it.

As to your 418, you could be knocking on 11.8/9.5@200psi. There is/was a guy on here a year or two ago who reported that he was running over 200 on pump gas. Actually I seem to remember more than one guy. So while it may be possible to run that high, it's probably not recommended. A much safer number is 180 and with tight quench.You could probably make 200 work with a really,really small carb.


I used an ICA of 64*,and a swept of 856cc,and 79cc as total chamber volume.
Why 64* ? Cuz that's what my 276/286/110&230/237 cam came in at when 4* advanced. To get 57* you'd need a pretty fast roller cam, ...make that incredibly fast.
That calculator is only asking for plus 15* to add to the [email protected] which is not enough for a FTH. It should be closer to 22/24

I remember you stating some different dcr numbers in another thread, I'll have to pull it up.
Seems like everyone's dcr keep magically getting closer to my own, when I'm not supposed to be able to run it that high..lol..but no one on here ran it as high, till now....Okay sure thats possible, I'm not breaking any ground in doing so...just myths and internet babblings put to rest.

You saying you run 8.7dcr 180 psi on 87 with that cam, give the specs so we can see that 276 duration 110 cam make 10.7 into 8.9
I run the 8.8888 @184 dcr and a tight quench, 91 is edgy....
