Cam Recommendations

[pmangelos]

Hi All, I m new to the world of Webers, I am in the process of putting together a 351 Windsor stroked to 427. It is a roller block, 10:1 compression, with Dart CNC'd heads, 5 speed and 3.73 gears. I am looking for suggestions on a cam, I have been looking at Comp's XFI Stroker cam. It has the following specs 114 Lobe Seperation, 248/258 Duration @.050, .608 Valve lift. Are there other cams that you guys have had good luck with, or should I give a custom cam grinder a call? Any help and or suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul

pmangelos Paul the theories on the best camshaft has gone from one end of the specs light a dual pattern to a single pattern. Reversion is also a big question. There as an article printed in the Shelby mag maybe 15 years ago that talks about webers, how they work, and what compression and camshafts works best with them on certain motors and cubic inches. If you can find this, I think this would give you a good basic for your setup. I know that 58mm Webers or Olbergs can take a large motor"482" with over a .700" lift cam and have it idle at 800 rpms without a rough idle. This car has 11-1 compression and runs on high test pump gas. Try Corky in the TRI STATE CLUB. He's running webers on a 331 motor. Runs and sounds nice. Rick L.
