Solid roller regrind

Post by RCJ »

I have a couple of rollers left over from when I raced dirt track. They are 258/260 at .050, 106lc, .600 lift. I'm looking for a street roller with around 236/240 at .050 ,106lc .550 lift. Are the dirt track cams to big to be regrouned to the street cam?

You would grind through the heat treat, if you made that big of a change.
You could get away something around 244/248@.050" and .570" Lift

Would 244/248. @.050 on a 106lc installed at 102. Be to much for a cruise rpm of 1800 to 2200. 350 sbc, 11.0 c/r, double hump heads. Looking for throttle response and torque between 2000 to 5000 rpm

I think that would still be about 30 degrees too big.

For that RPM you would need to be around 216/220@.050"

Why not sell o those cams to a braket racer or someone building a hot hot street racer. Then buy the SR cam for the job.
