    I have not doubt you know what your are doing, but would you please explain the cam selection (small lift in particular)? I realize getting the most out of an engine is done by the "system" approach. I assume this works well with your setup.

    news bulletin: I just checked the specs on the Lunati 51019LUN from summitracing.com:

    Lunati Solid Roller Tappet Camshafts
    Camshaft, Solid Roller Tappet, Advertised Duration 281/ 289, Lift .602/ .602

    :huh:

    no need to be nice Don :evilsmile thats not the norm around here :biglaugh:


    I have no ideal about the cam, other than that is what Doc says will work best with my set-up. I know Doc mentioned about having the exhaust side stay open a little longer to help my small headers :) but other than that it is real similar to the cam I had in it before.
    I trust whatever Doc says...... :yup:
    I know I expressed to Doc that I am really wanting something that is more reliable.....if I lose a couple numbers......well then I do. I am willing to sacrafice a little performance for a little more longivity.

    Maybe Doc will get on here and add more to it.

    the lift on that cam is probley auctal lobe lift , .602/.602 is valve lift w/ 1.6 rockers .389 is lobe lift at cam , i believe this is true if i am wrong sorry im pretty sure thats what it is, mutilply 389 x 1.6 and you should get 602 sounds good though(y)

    Shows you how much I know about cams. I've never heard anyone describe a cam that way.

    That sure is a nice combo John. I dont know what the innards were before but if the cam is smaller it should make for a more user friendly street car. But with some good tuning you might not lose any E.T.

    ps what heads are on it?
