I am just putting my motor together today and this is what I found. I need to know what you guys think of this cam with a charger. Here is what I have. A fox short block with forged stock pistons. the block have never been decked, .40 head gaskets, edelbrock performer aluminum heads 170cc, edelbrock performer upper and lower/intake and elbow, 75mm throttle body, stock rails with 42lbers, and a matching maf, with 1.7 rr's, long tubes, off road x pipe and cat back, adjustable reg. vortech v1 s trim with a 3.33 pulley and an anderson power pipe. might be forgetting some things here but if you need more ask.


what do you guys think of this cam. Wasn't really sure what was in this short block to begin with. How do you think it will work, it's pretty big.

here it is an Edelbrock rolling thunder

I think that it's too big. They really stretched the duration out by using a long ramp rate at more than 68* ramp rate from 0-0.050". My guess is that you will probably make peake power at max engine speed with a 3" stroke, not an ideal condition.
