I got a recommendation for 2 different cams from comp cams. I would like you guys to look it over and add any input or changes before I buy. I'll post my car info. Then the two recommendations. And then my thoughts.
Warning, this is going to be a lot of info. Lol
Car info:
77 camaro. Weighs around 3000lbs
400 sbc bored .030 over to make it a 406 cubic inch sbc
11:1 compression ratio
200 cc aluminum dart pro 1 heads port matched, bowls worked a little, nothing major
64cc chamber
1.5 roller rockers
Weiand Team G single plane intake
750 holley double pumper
1" intake spacer
Balenced rotating assembly
Melling High Volume oil pump
Eagle I-beam 5.7 rods
floting .030 over speed pro flat top 4 valve relief hypertonic pistons
4:10 rear end
th 350 tranny
Stock crank
Solid roller Cam
Cam number 1: 12-773-8
Operating Range: 3200-7200 RPM
Duration @ .050'' Lift: 254° Intake / 260° Exhaust
Valve Lift w/1.5 Rockers: .582'' Intake / .588'' Exhaust
Valve Setting: .016'' Intake / .018'' Exhaust
Lobe Separation Angle: 110°
Requires 3500 stall
Cam number 2: 12-908-9
Operating Range: 4200-7200 RPM
Duration @ .050'' Lift: 264° Intake / 270° Exhaust
Valve Lift w/1.5 Rockers: .630'' Intake / .630'' Exhaust
Lobe Separation Angle: 106°
Requires 4500 stall
Thoughts:
I can't find anyone to flow my heads, however I did find a forum with a guy who had my exact motor and heads. He said his flowed
Ported & Polished Dart Pro-1 200cc Specs,
INTAKE:
0.100" = 62.6
0.200" = 134.1
0.300" = 190.7
0.400" = 241.4
0.500" = 262.2
0.600" = 272.7
0.700" = 277.1
So as you can see they flow well up to .600 lift but it's not much more than .500 and even though it increased at the .700 mark, it's not by much. So, I think my best lift on a cam would be between the .550 and .600 lift. I already have the 3500 stall converter, however having to get a different stall converter isn't going to stop me from getting a better cam for my application.
I don't really care about Street ability. I might drive this thing to the local dairy queen or car show but my goal is for this car to be fast and I'm willing to sacrifice some comforts to get that. I want low end torque and I want to jump off the line.
From my research, I feel like cam number one would be better but I'm willing to hear others opinions or different cam suggestions. Thanks!
