It doesn't seem that long ago, a cam like that would be considered huge.
Yeah for sure, and .600 lift used to seem like a lot.
I already had a cam that would probably have made more power. It's a 266/276 on a 108 LSA plus it has more lift, but it would have required deeper valve relief notches in the pistons.
We figured we could get into the 10.00 range with a little less cam. I'm actually pretty happy with how smooth the idle is with this 112 LSA cam. (smooth for a race engine)
The cam in the aluminum engine is pretty big,,, 282/292 @.050
I've also got one that's just a bit smaller,,, 276/286 @.050 I'd like to try the smaller cam, but I'm pretty sure we'll end up putting the bigger one back in.
