First off any help will be greatly appreciated. I have a 95 convertible car, TKO 600 trans, 333ci R block, eagle forged 4340 steel crank steel h beam rods 0.040" over diamond pistons, F cam, howards link bar lifters, trick flow twisted wedge heads stage 3 ported by TEA Ferra 2.05 intake valves 1.60 exhaust 1.6 rocker arms holly systemax intake 70mm tb. Car has a fast XFI system on it. HP turbo kit 76mm .96 A/R 3:31 rear gear.
I busted a head gasket and damaged 4 pistons so its at the machine shop, Everything else looks good. I was wanting to change the cam to something a little bigger and better so I called comp cams and this is the cam they recommended.
Dur @ 50 232 intake, 224 ex, lift 565in 555 ex 115 lobe sep. My current comp ratio is just a hair over 9 to 1 and I was thinking about ordering some thicker head gaskets to get the CR down a little. What do yall think? Its a street car mainly used for highway cruising and roll racing. What do yall think about the cam and what CR should I shoot for? Please any help will be appreciated.

 

i run mine c.r at 8.75 had to use an .080 mls gasket to get it and havent had any problems have a comp custom grind stick in it and am okay with it but want a lil more than what it provides the rpm range is great but i would go with a lil more duration on my next grind .its 615 in 635 ex 224 in dur 232 ex dur on a 115 lsa

 

damn, that cam must be rough on valve train parts too with such high lift and short duration...those rocker arms must sound like a sewing machine with the steep ramp rate of that cam

 

I don't know a whole lot on cams that's why I called comp and that's what they recommended and that's why I'm asking all of y'all,
I'm thinking it would be wise to bring the CR down a little to maybe what yours is or something close.

 

Some more info would help...... what fuel? intercooled? what turbine wheel on the 76? I personally would keep the cr, and run meth, or e85 if you need to.

 

go with a F cam and call it a day

 

Agreed, I really like mine, and for the price they are hard to beat. I'm also running 9:1 comp on my 332 which makes it drive nice out of boost as well.

 

If you are cheap, get a F cam. If not, call commotion. Go 9.5-1 so you can run pump or E85

 

I usually run 93 but I will have a tune for 110 or E85, Yes its intercooled, im not sure what wheel it is, its the upgraded turbo hp sells if that helps,

 

Ive already got the F cam, I was wanting something better, Im not going with the cam comp has told me about, Ive been talking to a friend and ive got another cam with out that split duration, Ill post the numbers when he calls me back.
So your saying I need to raise the compression to 9.5?
Who is commotion and whats there number?

 

Auto spell got me..CamMotion, just google and give them a call. Steve Morris had me go 9.5 as a good compromise for running either fuel.

 

Seeing you've damaged pistons ...
I would look at tune first ..
232 on 115 LSA would idle nice...

 

That reverse split duration is to help combat reversion with hotside that is a bit more restrictive. Back pressure info is nice to have when looking for a cam........
