Better cam than the F-cam

Why are you running 4:10's with a 5speed.And those heads are what 64/62cc?Kind of a miss matched set up if you ask me.Put some 3:73's in there and throw a blower/turbo in there,or spray.

Well the heads were $400 bucks with the rockers I bought what I could afford at the time( 5 kids so you know) and what is wrong with 4:10s with a 5-speed???

Yeah i know what you men about money.What i mean about the gears is usually you want ratio in the 4:10/4:30's when you have a motor that makes power top end.Im running 4:30's with my 331 but im running afr 185's and a anderson n71 28-6800 rpm and a parker funnel web.That being said your motor i wouldnt rev past 58-6000 with that f cam.That cam from what ive seen likes nitrous or a type of forced induction.I guess the gear ratio isnt that far out of tune depending on your tire size.

Id rahter run a fcam with 3:73's and even 42's and a 100shot stay in the power band alot longer.

no actually you should run the shortest gear you can while still trapping at the top of 4th

Thats kind of what i ment but didnt say it,otherwise i would of said put 2:73's in it lol.So what would 4:30's be with your standard 27" tall tire in 4th at what rpm?

expect to trap around 110mph at 5800rpms...

but it all depends on when you stop making power... to decide what rpm you wanna trap at.

Well i was told by anderson to run a 4:30 gears as the cam makes power from 28-6800 and i know i have the heads and intake to support that.

But yeah i still think this guys combo is a little mis matched.Id say to make use of everything and you wanna stay n/a run a custom cam.But if those heads did lower the compression cuz impretty sure there 64cc id say go forced induction or spray.

The afr's came from dss 1.6 stud mount rockers guide plates and hardend push rods,which ill prolly have to get different ones as those were measure up with a different block/headgasket combo.And im ordering the N-71 cam and spring kit.trapping idk thats just the set up im running and thats what anderson motorsports says to run with that cam yeah i could prolly run a taller slick combo if it end up being to much for my car.
