I wanted to make my 388 bulletproof, streetable but aggressive and generally a bad motor. I've erred on the side of conservative before, and was not happy. This time I decided to step in the other direction. Nothing outrageous, just a good weekend warrior setup. Here's what I chose:
Competition cams Magnum 280/280 advertised duration cam with .480 lift on both sides. Comps double roller timing set, Milodon gold reinforced steel 7qt pan (stock volume/pressure oil pump, HVHP take more power to drive and are unnecessary for the street). Harland sharp full roller rockers, 1 5/8 full tube headers with 3" exhaust, and dart iron eagle 2.05/1.60 200cc intake, 72cc chamber. With the mini domes on the slugs, the compression is high, in the upper 10's or low 11's. I see race gas in my future...
