Hiya

I would go for 1,4 and some moly paste for some standard followers. Mind you, $200plus for a repro cam seems a lot...what do Craneor other make billets cost?

Dwight, all the ARP studs come with a small packet of lubricant, so no need to buy more. I run those lifters and pushrods with no noticeable power increase. I thin the cam is the only thing that will make any meaasureable difference. You can buy Crane's cam for a little less through Summit racing and its a brand new billet unit (CRN-342-0010)! I know someone who's running it with 102 BHP at the rear wheels!

Sans a good head porting, not a lot.

IMO, best to spend on head porting, then mabe send rockers out to be re-ratio'd.

Defiately get the ARP head stud kit.

But first, what are you trying to accomplish?

Seriously guys check out piper cams in the UK, there specialised in what they do and i cant fault them- there website is ace and really helpful- therl even make you a cam to your profile- but ask for there advise trust they are the dogs.

I'm with seb above. I have the p285 in a Burgess flowed FastRoad Big Valve, with Jackson rollers idling w/o lump a 650. I just pulled 123 RWHP with 133# torque on the Moss S/C at 7 # with the P270(Purchased from peter with 50+ hardened lifters) , rollers, and of course the Burges SC flowed head. Going down to the smaller pulley, John Twist's dizzy and Han's 2.5 inch headers and expect a Guiness book around 141RWHP. I'll keep yall informed. Cheerios VicPS_ In fareness, I see peter pegged 124 rwhp on an automatic with his head and thew Moss unit. What boost Peter? Where's the Han's Hotter .....Phil....Dave...where you guys lurking dudeos....

Thanks Jeff.
Who has that car?
[102 rwhp] ?


What am I trying to accomplish?
Auto cross/Solo, maybe some track time, tours, fun.............

[Brian gets a discount]

And the head is already ported, and flow bench tested. 1.5 ratio roller rockers from Harlan Sharp, and the big 1.72" intake stainless steel valves.
Plus a set of Diamond Racing forged pistons, [about 10-1 compression]and all balanced, lightened flywheel, [15 lbs] ceramic coated headers, and 2" exhaust.
For now, intake stock manifold, with good HS4 carbs. [love those carbs]
pertronix coil, Second Strike, and Ignitor, [points/condenser replacement]

Hopefully, more like 90 rwhp....................
