We know that Chris Straub has made some cars run really good at the track and had others make some big numbers on the dyno. So we know he know what he is doing.
Well i have a friend that runs a Ford 393W
10.5 compression
AFR 185 heads
Victor jr intake
Holley 950HP
1 3/4 headers
car 3100 w/driver
C4 with 8" converter
4.33 gear 28x10.5 slick
was running a hydraulic 239/247 @50 541/565 106
He has the shift light at 6100
car runs really good for what it is 6.70's in the 1/8th will go 6.60's in good air.
Well he decide he wanted to go to a hydraulic roller he called Chris and ordered cam/lifter/springs.
He got the cam and it was 230/234 @50 550/542 107lsa
Is it just me or is that cam not REALLY small for that.
I don't want to doubt Chris, heck i am the one that told my buddy about Chris in the first place after ready about his success on this website. I know Chris talks about the keys are knowing head flow and it's the combination taht matter, but i have heard him say good heads need little cam and "bad" heads need big cams. My friends heads are border line small to begin with which is what made the cam seem even smaller to me.
Am i totally wrong here, i would just hate to see my friend spend all this money and run slower, especially when he is hoping to pick up a tenth or so with the cam swap.
