Does anyone want to discuss cam specs and pretend we know what we're talking about?

Yes, thinking about it

Lots of info to be discussed on camshafts and still not have a good understanding. Then if you think you do talk to a super stock guy, lol.

The guy that helps me said that Mike Jones has a complete understanding of an engine, not just camshafts.

What is it you're wondering about ?

Absolutely!

I love reading about cams, and will be happy to post my novice thoughts.

Please post everything on your new cam card that deals with the cam itself.
Whatever info you have on the new springs would be interesting too.

From what I saw the other day your new cam looked pretty good to me...
 
Mike Jones seems pretty smart.
It disturbs me that he wouldn't do business with Mark O' when Mark had an order for him.

First. Get that dual plane intake lost somewhere.
Choke an engine down, nothing else will help.

Buddy has a 445 fe, with a dual plane intake, running 10.0. I call it the unicorn!

Went to a new combo with a single plane and bigger cam and higher rpm last year and never got it to run the unicorn times. This year they went back to the old combo, with the dual plane, and its running the best it ever has

I've seen big blocks, small blocks, stock blocks running these intakes on the dyno and was not upset with the numbers. This combo isn't going to be dog shit with a dual plane for my use

When they stick the vic jr and rpm dual plane on the dyno the numbers are basically an overlay from 3500 to 6000. That's where this engine will live, and again, I cannot fit a super vic under the 3in cowl hood. It's getting the dual plane.

The new cam you got probably isn't going to be done by 6000 rpm but that's no biggy
 
Give some serious thought to it and decide:

What percent of the driving will be done on the street?
What percent of the time on the street will be at full throttle?
What percent of the time, including full throttle, will be done over 5000 RPM?

Think about all that and then decide if a single plane would actually be part of the perfect combo for your circumstances.

For a low rpm tire burner I think he already had what he needed with the afr's etc.
I've always said the 1st rip of the year in the spring feels like holy fuckin shit, by the end of the summer I'm pretty sure this thing is down a cylinder 😆
