difficult cam choice
Hey guys
some of u already know, but for those who don't i have some unknown dimensions on the engine that i got assembled...rookie mistake, w/e live and learn.
but now since i need to drop the engine to change the oil cooler (small leek), and will be swapping engine shrouds at the same time, it feels like a good time to take out the s or mod s cams, and put in something that likes to rev at least a little bit more.
this is what i know:
100mm Mahle P&C's
74.4 mm Crank
extra thick cylinder to case copper ring seals (2,x 1mm)
46mm webers
twin plugged, electromotive
less than 11:1 cr, likely closer to 9.5:1
non-stock heads, were fly cut, big valves, ported...
George's european racing headers, M&K muffler
arp bolts, upgraded studs, 930 oil pump
edit: jerry woods valve springs
last time the car was on the dyno (like what 2 years ago?) i was running B&B headers, with a different muffler (still M&K), minor carb adjustments, on an engine with less km's (though not nearly enough!!!), it made a best pull of 278 rwhp. I don't need to be lectured about doing everythign else as well, has harness bar, triangulated strut towers, aggressive brake pads, 23/29mm t-bars, big contact patches, blisten sport shocks...etc.... it is not one dimensional, and i do not drive like an idiot on the street (k so that is all out of the way)
what i would like:
to make good power up to 7500 or perhaps more...
loosing some mid range is acceptable, car is not daily driven
is there enough here to make an educated safe guess? or is it too much stipulation (actually c/r, deck height, cc.)?
i appreciate your help
