What's your cam specs and what heads are you running?

stroked windsor 11-15-2017 04:16 PM

AFR 205 heads un ported HR cam 230-236-513-526-110. had a bigger roller 240 248 but wanted to bring down the torque curb. interesting that the small cam was just as good as the bigger cam.. just lost a few top end hp.. both had 535 ft lbs but the smaller cam came in much lower..

If you'd be willing to swap cams again, I could have one ground for you that would keep the same peak hp but would give you more mid range and more torque.

be my 3rd cam change.. I am running a 8" converter on my car.. I think 4000 stall.. my motor starts pulling over 500 ft lbs@3700 with the small roller.. up to 4900 peak.. 535..

You have too much converter for one thing and a new cam would help.......shoot me an email.

Just saw this post was active again and thought I’d give a three year review on this 438W Brent built for me.
It’s fu—in awesome. Great street manners and pulls like a freight train when asked too. I have 200 treadwear tires and live where it’s nice and warm and can easily break em loose in third gear if I’m not careful. Idle is lumpy and has been a pleasure to drive for the past three years.
Thanks, Brent. Great build.

Here’s an 11 year, 35,000 mile update.
Still runs great. No problems at all. Still can make the wife pee her pants.

Brent is a good guy and skilled engine builder.

17,000 on my FE build. Met my requirements and not a drip of oil.
