question about rpm and horsepower
i just installed a new cam for my 2.3 mustang. i originally had a stock cam then i changed to a turbo cam. I use the car to race oval track. I had the RPM's up to about 6300 in 2nd gear entering the corner. I then changed to a competition cam with a 300 duration exhaust and intake.This is suppose to be the best cam we are legally allowed to use.just wondering if when I degree the cam properly will I get my rpm back to at least 6300 where i had it before. Is the rpm loss due to the fact that the cam isn't degreed??? somebody please help me I am frusterated.....Is there anything else I can do to a 2.3 L engine for performance?? I already am 38 degrees advanced on the timing(and yes it still starts...lol). I have a double barrell carb as opposed the single that most people are using. I am geared right for the track and have proper sized tires. the head is already shaved .050 and we had a valve job and what not done as well. Also the block was freshened and we put + .030 pistons in as well.... that's about all we are allowed to do legally....just looking for ideas for adjustments on what I have to gain more horsepower and acceleration....
