More cam?
I have my engine out to do a torque converter swap and some other things. It got me thinking, should I consider a more aggressive cam while I am in there with more power in mind?
Current cam:
Hughes 110LSA, 222/226 duration @ .050", magnum 1.6 rockers = .549 / .555
My setup: 72 scamp, 360 Magnum, EQ heads w/ light port and a shave to bring up compression, matching springs, edelbrock air gap, stock magnum bottom end rebuilt, currently AVS2 carb but looking for next carb option. **Has power brakes, and AC. dougs headers, 2.5" exhaust, flow master 40s.
Trans: 904, shift kit etc, going to get a new converter from dynamic or PTC likely.
Rear: 3.55 8 3/4
Tires: 275 MT drag radials
I would just be looking for some more power but retaining use of power brakes. Is the expense of a new cam worth the power gain? Just thinking I went too conservative this go around.... with the new converter I am expecting it to wake up though
