Ok guys here is what I need help with. What I have now.
69 340 engine, 4speed, 3.55 limited slip 235x60x14 (25")tires in a 68 DartGTS
Chrome box Mopar HEI, Accel HO coil, no vacuum advance hookup, 8mm wires, MSD Soft Touch rev limiter set at 6,000, stock valve train, eng was rebuilt before I purchased the car, I have found out that it was not bored but the cam that was installed took away bottom end torque, it pulls half decent midrage up. I have purchased a thermoquad from demonsizzler, but I have not received it yet and it will be going on an oem cast intake, heat crossovers will be left open, manual choke, and I will be hooking vacuum advance back up.
What I want do do with the car. Daily driver, so gas mileage is an issue. I want a choppy big cam sound, good bottom end and midrange torque. When I cut that thermoquad open, I want this thing to go foolish. I mean tire screaching performance. I will learn to index the cam in. With bottom end torque like this, will it hurt me if I want to go to the track every once in a while, because I do want to race later on. I want to go to roller gear later on. Maybe I should just go back to a stock 68 4speed cam or Purple shaft. Can you guys tell me what I need for a cam or is it not possible to get what I want ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
