I'm in the process of trying to pick out a smaller camshaft for my Duster since the one I have, for me, is too rough of an idle for daily traffic driving. I've been asking a lot of questions (with good answers) and have been compiling some different info. I started this spreadsheet really just...

I've done a few different searches and went through a few posts (there are lots of them depending on search criteria) that discuss dynamic compression ratio and pump gas. Most of them seem to agree that 8.5 is the max DCR to target for regular pump gas compatibility, I think, for 93 octane, but...

The shop that restored my car told me the compression ratio in my 340 was around 9.75:1. I'm in the process of looking at getting a smaller camshaft for it so I'm looking at the relationship between cam timing and dynamic compression ratio and all of that fun stuff, so I figured I would try to...

For a car intended to be used as a daily driver type street car, are there significant advantages to using a new cam grind over the stock cam? After driving my car for nearly a year, I'm still not crazy about the idle characteristics. It runs fine in the higher RPMs, but I still don't...
