Russ,
yes, you are correct about "area under the curve" on the lobe, but do check for coil bind and or clearance on the valve stem or seal when you add lift. Can do so with feeler gauge with spring compressed to lift height, if you don't have a spring checker machine.Don't want to see you put a valve into a piston because a spring broke. |

Many thanks! I'm learning a lot about cams these days, as I learned about Webers when I put those on. Will be sure to check for coil bind at max lift! One of the fun aspects of this car. I don't have the experience to predict results, but am hoping for a broad power band increase as well as a bit more top. Will look at going back to possible 36mm venturis as well, and am thinking a size up on the idles to 55 to cover the lower idle vacuum signal (increased cam overlap) and maybe a bit smaller air correction to 180. Here's hoping for 310+ hp @ 7000 and 240+ ft-lbs @ 5500! best rt |

The Webcam 235@050 with .368 lift intake cams are being installed as I write this. Since I am in Iraq, there will not be any driving reports soon, but it should be interesting.
Webcam is recommending 105 lobe center on the intake and 105 to 107 lobe center on the exhaust. I imagine that a total ignition advance near the stock 34 degrees or so will be ok. I still am a bit concerned about the idle vacuum signal and transition, but it is quite rich already so perhaps I will be ok. All advice appreciated. best rt |
