Well, bad news. My block I have a small crack inside the #1 cylinder so im sleeving the one cylinder and putting it back in the car for cruising and light fun. All the turbo stuff is getting sold and then the motor will go to if i can get a good deal on it. Everythings for sale.
no it is not excessive it does have some overlap but this is a more modern approach in turbo cam technology.this was more in keeping with a fast quarter mile times in mind and a good flowing turbine side as well as a bit higher rpm than stockish type stuff it is a solid so it would probably be more comparable to say a 240 hydraulic cam so it is still on the small side
Interesting, I can understand for more of strip-only situation and also being a solid. Does the extra fuel in the exhaust due to the overlap help with building boost?
Big cams are not good according to what i have found. Check out crower's turbomaster cam for a 454 chev on the post number 5 of this thread http://v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=168748
the cam was ground according to a lengthy discussion with cam motion and was meant to run to 7000 rpm if needed the first grind they came up with 249 in. 241 exh. but with the better heads and less backpressure in mind I chose the latter
Interesting. I figured there was reasoning behind what you did, but wanted to learn and understand what the reasoning was.
