Gaz: My cam was spec'd for webers by Barry R. I don't consider it wild at all. It's a hyd roller for street with some track time. I'll have to get the specs.
What you're saying is that due to the cam overlap it may not be possible to get a good idle at best a/f ,and for best performance it will have to run rich, at least at idle ?
I was thinking that might be the case, but I'm still rich over the whole rpm band.
When I mentioned A/F meter to Inglese he said " do you want it to run right, or do you want to chase numbers?"
I want both, as much as possible. I realize there exceptions and trade-offs.
