Subject: Re: What Engine Would The Guru's Build? by BeachBum on 2009/9/22 21:01:39 I ran the popular LPE 219 cam.... which is a .560/.560 with 1.6's - 219/219 @ .050" 112lsa cam..... for whatever reasons, that cam seems to work well for applications up to 6000 rpm. I think a 230ish cam would have made a little more HP at an expense of torque at 4000-5000 rpm, but not sure, never ran one. This cam created a HP peak of about 5700 rpm.... Here is an early dyno of the set-up.... ton of torque as you would expect. When this dyno was done, I was typically running 11.5-11.6 @ 116 mph..... I found more power out of it later on with a cylinder head change which gave me another 2-3 mph.....thus I assume it made around 380 rwhp at the end, but do not know, didn't put it on the dyno. Wish I had, would have been interesting to see what it did. (Ignore the squiggly lines on this, that is just my doodling, the 383-SR-219 dyno line is the one that ends at 6200 rpm) [IMG]http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc342/tldrane/scan0001-1.jpg[/IMG] |
