Please help with cam selection
Trying to ID those pistons.. got a PN?
Ditto! Not to be a jerk but I do not think your at a 11-1 ratio with those slugs. I run KB-107’s, a flattop with 5cc valve reliefs at zero deck, .039 head gasket (I forget the diameter) with an Edelbrock 63cc head and technically I’m not at 11-1. Close, but no actual cigar.
You have the same size, double mirror reliefs in those slugs. I see a much lower compression ratio. Sorry. I’m not trying to be a dick about this. But that is what I see.
With a 3500 stall, and 3.23’s on that tire, well, that’s a weird combo for me to see. I’d like to see some gear for torque release. At least 3.91’s.
The high stall allows a bigger cam but the 3.23’s kill any quick acceleration. It'll be a slug out of the hole. But it’ll have a bangin top end over a 100 mph. That’s for sure!
This makes cam size and choice a compromise. To that end, if it were I doing this, I myself would look at a Cams intake duration at around 230@050 at the largest until you come up with the actual static compression ratio.
Also, if you go with a off the shelf cam, I’d run a 1.6 rocker to get the cams action up and moving quicker. Most shelf cams are slow ramps even though they advertise them as quick.
