CURRENT Motor details:
408 cast crank stroker
9.6:1 compression
93 Octane gas
mild port/polish on Edelbrock RPM heads, closed chamber,
Weiand Stealth ported and gasket matched (heads too)
Carter TQ 850, initial tune by Demon Sizzler, tuned further with AEM A/F gage
Comp roller .544/.541 236/242 110 centerline
FBO ignition, ditributor curved to 16 inital, 34 total @ 2900 rpm
Hooker comp 1 5/8" headers (dented bottoms on driver side, naturally) 3" collector
3" pipes into/out of welded 3" mufflers into a-body tips
TKO 600 5 speed tranny
3.73 TrueTrac in a narrowed Dana
================================
I am planning to put in the following cam:
NEW CAM
Comp roller Intake/Exhaust .522/.521 224/236 114 Centerline
I know it's less cam, by design from my perspective. Tired of the rough idle and hoping for better performance, if that's possible
The previous cam delivers a best MPG of 17.5 (5 speed), and the best ET is 12.003 @ 111.46 mph.
------------------------------
Thoughts on new performance, mpg, etc.?
Will I regret this move?
