yet another cam question

[turbo buicks]

whats a good cam for a P&P heads, 8-8.5:1 compression 4.1 w/a T-72 that has no noticeable lope and a nice powerband from idle to 6000 rpm? if you have actual experience on this subject feel free to chime in.

With a 214/210 and very similar combo, stock block ran 10.70's and stage 4.1 ran 10.50's. Neither was over 25 psi and streetable.

WHERE CAN I ACQUIRE ONE OF THESE CAMS AND FOR HOW MUCH?

NOTE: NICK I DONT WANT TO GO ROLLER SO SHOULD I GET A CAM WITH A LITTLE MORE DUR TO MAKE UP FOR THE LIFT OR SOMETHING?

WHAT???? I CANT HEAR YOU ITS TOO LOUD IN HERE.


NICK WHAT ARE YOUR THOTS ON A 224 224 HYD FLAT TAPPET CAM FROM SCHNEIDER? I WAS LOOKING AT THIS CAM. WITH A HOOKER EXHUAST WILL PEOPLE BE ABLE TO TELL ITS CAMMED?

 

[Nick Micale]

A 224/224 would have a lope, as would a 218/218. The 214/210 roller is very close to stock idle in a 4.1. To meet your requirement there, I would go with a 212/212 flat tappet.

My opinion on a 224/224 cam is you need great flowing heads to take advantage of it. Went from the 224 to a 214 in a 3.8, and pulled lots better up to 6000 RPM. As a matter of fact, it has about a dozen runs on it as it sits on my shelf waiting for use somewhere?
