Re: New Converter, Different Shift Points?
run the other way from whoever told you that cam was what you needed!!
You are wasting your time with converters with that cam that's at least 40 degrees too big for your 9:1 bracket engine! FTI, the cam in my 15.5:1 598 has similar duration @ .050. Last edited by 1320racer; 06-28-2016 at 12:28 PM. |

Re: New Converter, Different Shift Points?
I know and am willing to deal with the criticism. I've built everything, mechanically in the
car, ported the heads, intake, spec'd my own cam, etc. I have no problem admitting I don't know as much as a seasoned class racer so, here I am, looking for answers. |

Get the right cam in that engine, then get the right converter. |

Re: New Converter, Different Shift Points?
Those numbers are not real shabby for something that you built yourself. Non of us started out setting the world on fire. Just keep asking questions and talk to the educated guys about your combo, Talk to the cam companies about a good cam for your combo. Also stick with the better converter companies for a converter that will optimize what you have. Best of luck with your ride and the most important thing is you have fun with it.

Re: New Converter, Different Shift Points?
Thanks Mike. It may not have national record power but, I do have a LOT of time and effort in the car.
I have found most cam representatives, I get to talk to, aren't really SS savvy and steer me to grinds in their catalogs. I'd be real interested to know the cam specs in a cutting edge, low compression 340 super stocker. I've found, in the past, they don't give out that kind of information and I don't blame them. |
