I know ! Another cam selection post
Would like something lopey, no power brakes, as far as hydraulic or roller, i have no idea?
A Hyd. Cam is the most inexpensive.
A Mech. Cam is a little more costly, minor maintenance
A roller is most expensive. Only consider a Hyd. roller if you already have a Hyd. roller set up like a. Agnum engine and will only use the engine in modest venues. Otherwise, the expense isn’t worth it. Use the mech. roller for serious drag racing.
IMO, use a cam in the 236-240 intake duration area (max) with as much lift as you can get.
Your BR Goodrich tires will hurt any performance increase chances. They are a OK street tire. That’s it. Use a stickier tire.
Check your finish line rpm and adjust the new tire size accordingly. If your not sure, a 26 inch is a good diameter to start with. Drag racing with a 4spd can be a little difficult so practice up and get the car consistent before reselecting a tire. Finish line rpm (and speed) should be what your looking at to adjust the tire size for more or less rpm at the stripe.
Good luck and have fun!
I don't care for Comp mostly because of the hit or miss tech you get when you call them. I can call on the exact same combo on two different days and get two totally different grinds. The other thing is for me, it's hard to not have them pull a grind off the shelf.
Sounds about right for every place I have ever called due to;
1: A different tech each time for a recommendation
2: Perameters not fully / properly explained or understood
3: Comp on line sales men/tech folk are suggested that sell what they have on the shelf first rather than create something new because of “Its on the shelf already, stock sitting doesn’t make money but takes up room preventing money to be made. Also, most people calling have less than a honest 15% understanding of what there doing with a cam on a custom order even though they think they have a 90% understanding.
Then they get a fucked up cam for there combo and blame Comp Cams as a chit grinder.
Smaller cam grinder houses are more than happy to custom grind you a cam because there. Not a big house with product by the thousands on the shelf ready the move.
