340 max camshaft with exhaust manifolds

Hello All,

As we all have access to dynamic compression calculators and gear mph graphs...I'm looking for feedback from individuals who run solid lift cams with oem exhaust manifolds.
Gears are not an issue (plenty of sets). 904/727 available 26" tire. Building a sleeper for my Son. 72 dart.

Thanks.

Well, the cast manifolds are a cork in its arse, which works like heads with restrictive ports. For a stealth street engine you want a semi smooth idle. The 340 bumpstick should work fairly well. You do need a dual pattern cam to aid the exhaust. Another trick to aid low lift exhaust flow for the street is to cut the exhaust seats and valves for 40° seats. This aids blowdown with lower RPM. Yes the racers find gains with 50° seats but are using high lift cams and rockers.
Increasing intake rocker ratio by .1 and the exhaust by .05 generally helps. Roller rockers with roller tips helps and is stealth.
