More power from my 360 Duster?
-I got a set of drag radials!!! I had them mounted on some steel wheels 15"x8. They are 235-60 BFG's.
-And now I just ordered the comp XE 268 cam for the next upgrade. I didnt want to have to have the heads machined for the double springs required by the voodoo cam so i went with the comp.
My biggest question/concern is the piston to valve clearance with the new cam. The specs for the new stick are as follows:
*Advertised Duration: Int. 268 Exh. 280
*Duration @ 0.050: Int. 224 Exh. 230
*Valve Lift W/1.5 Rocker: Int. .477 Exh. .480
*Lobe Sep.Angle: 110
*Part Number CL20-223-3
Will there be problems with the above cam in respect to piston to valve clearance? Is there a way to calculate this by measuring my current setup before I take the new cam out of the box and install it? I dont want to remove the heads if I dont have to, but I can get some checking springs (is two enough?) and use a dial inticator to maybe check the clearence (not 100% clear on this method).
Thanks!
