Need cam ideas for my 318 Duster
As mentioned earlier by AJ, the cylinder pressure is low and that makes the low rpm band sponge soft. While I don’t think it’ll be that bad, more compression is better.
Your current engine specs pose a problem in your goal. I kept the cam small and within the stall of the converter. Moving the cam around can help a little but so so try it as it should be installed first.
IMO, a call to Schneider cams here in the states could very well yield you a better choice than an off the shelf cam.
Also, if you’re OK with making your own exhaust pressure wave cancellation boxes for your car, this would be a very good improvement on low end torque. I seriously suggest a look into David Vizards exhaust suggestions. The idea is to mimic the dyno engine room where the exhaust goes to open air after the header and collector.
I don’t know the cylinder pressure of my wife’s engine.
It is a .030 - 360, zero deck Federal Mougal hyper slugs, nearly identical to the KB-107. Trick flow heads. The head gasket is in the brain fade area. IIRC, it’s a Cometic at .035 X 4.04.
Cam card below. If anyone does the math, please post it up.
