Re: Popular cam companies / designers
Joe, why would you not go with a custom cam grinder that is less than buying a cam from the BIG companies?
GURU is only a name.

9.50's @2900 pounds with a 355 is stout if NA.. I doubt you'll get 15 to 20 horsepower with a cam change. Good luck.
I used to be a people person, but people ruined it.

Re: Popular cam companies / designers
Gentleman , thank you.................I am open to any reputable cam grinder / designer , large or small co.
My heads are 23 degreee Brodix , ported by 2 different porters ( LOL ) the original Porter and then Larry Meaux , who "tweeked" them recently.
And yes , the engine is normally aspirated with a tunnel ram.

Why? For specing a cam ?wyrmrider wrote:Have your head flows handy
If someone thinks they can spec your cam based on flow numbers,..I'd use someone else.

Re: Popular cam companies / designers
Head flow info is one of several parameters that are taken into account when determining the correct cam for a specific engine combination.

Re: Popular cam companies / designers
I dont know if it would make a difference..........I think they just like to know what you are working with.

If a cam designer DIDN'T ask for the flow numbers, I'd be looking somewhere else.randy331 wrote:So your telling me a sbc with dart pro1s flowing 300 cfm needs a different cam than one flowing 310 cfm all other parameters the same?engineguyBill wrote:Head flow info is one of several parameters that are taken into account when determining the correct cam for a specific engine combination.

Its not JUST the max flow numbers, its the entire flow curve.
From the top of the carb to the valve face is important info. Not knowing the head flow is paramount to not knowing the engine size.
