whats wrong w/ it ?? its a matched set.....and the cam on the Summit page is NOT the one im gonna get. the guy at Trickflow's gonna upgrade to a stage 2 cam for me. i dont see whats wrong with it............help me out Quik. i kno we havent been the best of friends on here, but, you seem like you got some technical expertise/experience, so, help me out. and anybody else who wants to. gimme some ideas. but, i honestly dont see anything wrong with the setup

I think what Quik is tryin to say is that the combo is set up for a cam with 221°/225° duration at .050, .499/.510 in
and with the stage 2 cam its going to be upgraded to 224/236 .542/.563 112 then plus the .038 lift the rockers are going to give you is definately going to be over camming your engine. I think the give the stage 1 cam in it for a reason. With cams bigger isnt always better, its what best suits your driving styles, if its a daily driver or just a sunday driver. With the rockers your going to be at about .580/.601 lift, thats really high for a street car. Id wait for his reply tho hes got way more knowledge on it and it was his reply.

ohhh. ok. then how bout that setup and cam, with just the 1.72 rr ?? would that be alright ?

Quik

stage 1 with 1.72s is good thats what i had

like razaar69 spoke thats alot of lift for a street car. i wouldnt even run that combo for my track setup. thats just alot of lift. plus your pistons better have the clearances allong with strong springs. also thats a small motor for that amount of lift. youll need alot of supporting mods for that amount of lift

oh, alright. thanks quik. its gonna be a built motor. full treatment from elec fan to gears and full suspension(eventually)

Quik

run a stage 1 with 1.7 or 1.72 youll like that setup but watch out for PV

OneGearhead

pv ?? piston to valve clearance ?? or something else ?

Quik

yep... my bad PTV sorry

OneGearhead

gotcha. thanks man.
