Need cam help
« on: February 18, 2011, 09:34:11 AM »
I have a TX19 Youngblood with blown BBC and want to upgrade to a new roller cam for it.
What are you guy's running
My motor is a balanced 30 over 454, with a 8/71 spinning 17.5 over
Forged crank & pistons, splayed 4 bolt, O ringed block, 320 aluminum retangular port head, w/headers
The cam shaft I am using has been in every motor that has been in it and I can not remember was it is know but is nothing at all maybe a RV cam.  I do remember that it was only good to 5200 RPM and with a AA impeller the motor only turns 4900 to 5000 @ the best speed its ever gone was 82.6 MPH on GPS and I was and am looking for 100MPH but I am probably dreaming
Thanks Pete

I deal with a local cam grinder who does all of my camshafts.  I can supply with either a new cam, or a regrind if you have a roller core.  What kind of boost are you running at 17% over?  I guess you understand that you may have to cut the impeller down to run higher rpm and into a range that makes more power?  I have used some cams that are around 300 advertised duration,, just under .700" lift that are still reliable and easy on valve train,  but making good power.

Obnoxious
 I dont have a roller cam core. I am looking to buy new, as for the boost the motor is making I dont know  :banghead:
 The guy that was helping me who i told to drill the intake so i could run a boost gauge did not   :mad: Witch led to alot of swearing. So I ran it all last year not knowing on how much boost it was making.  I just did not want to rip the intake back off I know LAZY.
 The very first thing that I am going to do is drill and tap the intake this year. I do understand that I may have to have the impeller cut but i am going to wait untill I get the new cylinder heads on and a new cam to see how she runs first. I just bought the cylinder heads last fall and there not on the motor yet. I have been running a set of open chamber oval port till now and I do know that they are a big part of my problem but so has been cash. LOL Every year I have been buying parts and slowy pieces by piece its coming together.
