Yes ! The proper cam it sure needs !
I'll google "proper cam company"

More cam (duration and lift) would put power on it I'm sure.
I don't think Chad would disagree with me on that.


Chad, Steve has a Comp Cams solid roller rt-nc lobe cam 248-258 LSA 109 I think.
That'd put it over 600 HP

You wanting my vacuum pump ?

Randy fixed the intake. And yes Im looking for free vacuum currently. And yeah...more cam would be the easy way out lol. Steve's cam would need lifters and springs to try? Lol

Many many years ago I took an edelbrock mechanical fuel pump I had from a dirt BBC engine and used it on my 531 just because I had nothing else to use and it actually pulled 6" vacuum in crankcase. I and the dyno guy were a little surprised.

Its funny how the cam that is already in the engine is ALWAYS wrong, never correct or proper and you always get told after its already in there...

Yes, Im wanting to try all that stuff again, provided SN is actually tuneable this time. Along with some major burr finishing

The weather has definitely taken a turn for the better. I just need to "beg" Joe to let me dyno SN again, he just wants to see it in the car . I hear that pretty often. So hopefully soon SN gets taken off of dyno duty, and my dedicated dyno mule "overflowz" will be in full effect!

"Overflowz!" You guys come up with the best engine names,
