Camshaft card number question
So I ended up with “tits up” or “dot to dot” as RRR said and back together. I wish I had degreed it for safety sake but could not get my degree wheel on the crank- engine in car. Ole Mr Gasket degree wheel from the 80’s. Anyhow after a very long recommended factory suggested break in procedure I changed the oil and took it for a ride. I think I opened the genie’s bottle. It wants to go fast. I mean really fast. At 60mph I cracked the secondaries on the Thermoquad and it broke loose and kicked sideways a bit on me on the highway. Sound is amazing thru the 2500-6500 range. Idle sounds like a larger motor for sure. Not a lot of lope, just a crisp clean muscle car sound. Sadly my rev limiter on my 6al MSD is set for 6,000rpm and it was still pulling when it started shutting down. My mistake. I will pop in a new pill tomorrow with the header install and set it for 7,000. Car idle to 2500 was not a typical bog but more like a slight turbo feeling delay then “BAM” it pulled like a husky in the snow. Big smile on my 16 yo son’s face for the test drive. The engine was built for business but had a small cam for drivable reasons. Back when the engine was built I was still stuck on Mopar performance cams only. New Lunati cam is defiantly allowing this engine to breath. Once the Dougs long tubes for in tomorrow it will need more fuel, more rpm and possibly swap out the LD340 for a single plane intake. Maybe I’ll put on the 1980’s Port O Sonic I just bought.
