had to slide over to the chevelle site for some expert cam recommendation.
Here is what I am working with:
1972 nova, 3300lb with driver, 28" tire, 4.10 gear, leafs with ssm bars, race prepped th350
motown block, 4.155 bore
flat top je's -5cc valve reliefs
eagle 6" h-beams, 4" stroke crank (434 ci)
.039 quench
out of the box afr 220's, 76cc (10.9:1 per calculator)
850 mighty demon, strip dominator, msd spark
the car will be very limited street (local shows) and mostly strip. I don't intend to spin it past 6500 rpm and have decided on a roller, not decided between hydraulic vs solid. I will obviously be looking for something on a small base, and is in part, one of my questions. The shop I bought the parts from said they use cams with a base of .850, but I am worried about the strength of the shaft. The info sheet with the block states that with stroker combos they suggest a .875 base. In need some help from the site resident cam guru and all others of course. I am really hoping to get this car into the high tens once the car is dialed and more probable low 11's until then. I am running manual discs, so vacuum for stopping is not a concern. Looking forward to cam recommendations and help on the base circle issue, thank you in advance.
