Jsup, you don't get it.... you think because they are happy, I should be.... but I don't care what they were trying to do or if they were happy. I am looking at the combination and coming to my own conclusion. btw, the small cam in that article was the "torque" cam that had a smooth idle, this one had what they called a livable idle and they were obviously trying to find some HP with it. I think its low for what they are doing. The question is not flawed.....
Ya know BB, I like having conversations with you because you're reasonable, well thought out, and civil.
Sometimes, we fire on different cyls and just don't intellectually connect. I will just chalk this up as one of those times.
Let me try using an example for you..... about 6 or 7 years ago GMHTP had a build-up of a Stroker motor built by professionals that was "identical" to my motor at that time that they were trying to build a good street/strip torque motor..... when they finally got it done, they dynoed it and it came out to 320 rwhp...... and they patted themselves on the back for a job well done. But, I immediately questioned the results and felt there should have been more. (Well actually I knew there should be more considering my exact same set-up made more torque and power)..... and there was, they tuned and tuned and finally got more.... my point, a professional who built a motor came in low with the results.... and they were.
Do you understand what I am saying..... I don't think this motor is right, they could have made more torque and hp in my opinion. But who knows.... maybe thats just what that combination will make if tuned right.... I don't know, hence my question to other forum members to get there opinion. Nothing more or less....
