Rhoads Lifters On Solid Lifter Cam - Setting Valve Lash
...... Mine is a Hughes 208/214 @.050 .480/.490.
Jim, that is nearly identical to my cam. What valve lash are you running and how do you like the Rhoads lifters with that cam?
A buddy gave me a Dyno 2003 program to play with 17 years ago. So I pulled Isky's cam lobe profiles up and looked for ones that would fit what I wanted to do. My goal being a broad, flat powerband redlined at 5,500 RPMs. Looking for highest
average (not peak) TQ and HP over that RPM range. Also wanted to keep valve lift just under 0.500", as my iron heads won't flow any better by lifting the valves higher than that.
Anyway, I ended up with a solid lifter cam having 210/216 degrees duration @ 0.050". Ground on 108 degree LSA. Valve lift 0.495" for both intake and exhaust. So pretty close to your cam specs.
Best regards,
Harry
