Cam Selection
Heed some opinions on cam selection. Solid or Roller ? A few of my buddies & myself got to together drinking down a few cold ones the other night. These our total gear heads with some racing backgrounds. Drags, sprint & modifieds. I STILL....can't make up my mind ! One said the solids give a great "RUMP" but, the valve train are very noisy. A roller,- a few guys including a engine builder said that after apx. 5,000 mlies on the street, the lifters are shot because the don't like low, street r.p.m's ? I don't really mind adjusting valves. I do want the engine to sound RADICAL !!! Love the "thump" of a bad ass cam & compression. I want to stay at 10:5 compression & pump fuel like I do now. I think I'll be staying with my iron heads, a friend & I will be porting them ect..., he's done many over the last 15 years. He said that he can get them to flow as much as alum. heads. I would buy the Edelbrocks but, with the engine rebuild, I don't think their in the buget by the time I buy the rockers, shafts ect. ? I may buy a rocker & shaft set for $425 for my iron heads. My valves are ok but will need bigger springs for a high lift cam. What do you guys think ?
Thanks,
Kev
