Recently put the RPM cam in my otherwise mild 66 289. Got all the issues worked out, waiting for 4.11's in the mail.
The car REALLY hates the 2.79's. Its hard to get it rolling, acceleration seems to be held back, and the cam just isn't performing as it should. Does a rear gear really make the cam pretty much a dog, I know the cam is made for light cars with aftermarket rear gears, but is 2.79's just too much for the cam to handle?
I was planning on getting the 4.11's, and they should be here today... just wondering if when edelbrock recommends aftermarket gears like a 3.55, do they really mean it as far as the cam being a dog with stock gears
