Inquiry for cam recommendations.
I'm building a 318 and will be using solid roller lifters. I'm soliciting recommendations for a cam. The engine will be going in a daily driver and I would like it mild+ , 90% street, 10% strip.
I agree with Ol’Kimmer. BUT….
What is needed to be known from you is a small list of questions.
What Aries block are we dealing with? LA or Magnum?
Weight of car.
Transmission being used.
Gear ratio and tire size.
Cylinder heads to be used
Headers or exhaust manifolds
In all honesty, unless the solid roller is on the large side, it’s a waste of time, money and effort. A good solid lifter flat tappet will perform toe to toe with a small roller easy.
Being your compression is on the low side, to much duration will kill off more cylinder pressure. Combined with a low displacement, this can be a source of a very bad performing engine.
You must answer the questions above for even a ball park suggestion on a cam.
