Comparing Mech To Hyd Cam Adv/.050” Durations
Only lobes by Isky I’m interested in are a couple of the solid Magnum XL .842” lifter lobes, got my eyes on what I think may work good, maybe maybe not, but they will know better than I. I’m all for filling out cam requests and calling and viola I got a cam. What did I learn about what it takes to spec one? Nothing. I’m trying to absorb and fill in the blanks on some finer aspects of lobes, learn all I can and see what I come up with at the same time. I’m already in the high 11’s @110+ on a good day, and spec’d everything myself to date, considered others advice, done a bit of reading, etc. My combo is what it is, not the best of everything, latest up to date parts or perfectly ideally matched components. I know I did pretty damn good for putting something together though. So I’m shooting for mid 11’s or better @115+ on any day, and for some radical street enjoyment. With a new converter, bump in compression, TF heads it’s not gonna take much more cam. Just not definite on how big I want to go. I need more top end more than anything though, to overcome the aero handicap this van has. I’m looking at a variety of solids, but avoiding very aggressive lobes for .904” and very slow .842” lifters.
