2.76 open to 3.55 Sure Grip...expectations too high?

Looking at your sig. and not being familiar with your exact build;

I’m not sure what you were expecting. Your cam is very mild with very small restrictive (as cast) ports of the 302 head. The cams 112 LSA should have had added compression from the pistons in order to negate the lower torque output from the wider LSA. If there was a tire diameter increase, this would slow down the car as well. Added stall to the converter would help the launch. But it should not be needed for a cam that size.

This is incredibly helpful! I knew that signature would come in handy someday.

I think this is what happens when my goals change from the beginning of the build to driving the car. Originally, I just wanted a reliable, snappy grocery getter. Once it was running and I felt like I had more of a grasp on things, I wanted to see how much more I could do with it.

I’m starting to feel at ease because it’s likely the cam that’s limiting me.
