I'm not recommending anyone do anything here, just posting information on what we do here and why we do it.

I will add this to the previous post about evaluating any of this stuff by the "seat of your pants"......it is highly flawed.

To date absolutely, positively bar none the high compression 455 we built with the 247/254/108 LSA cam "felt" the strongest on the street of any engine we've done and any driving where you were blasting thru the gears to evaluate that engines power output.

It was nothing less than EXPLOSIVE in the mid-range, idled extremely "rough" and TONS of "attitude" everyplace. Hitting it with full throttle and you thought it was going to tear your head off/throw it out the window, and throw all your insides into the back seat! However, that engine was the SLOWEST at the track of any of the 455's we've built and put into cars with plenty of gear and converter in them. When we replaced that cam with Dave's Road Paver cam, and his CNC porte #62's, not only did it act like we cut the balls off it, it was very mild and the power curve was so smooth and linear that is was actually somewhat "boring". Gone was all that quick power like you hit it with a 150 shot of nitrous, it just pulled hard everyplace, no rush of power anyplace.

At the track it runs nearly a full second quicker in ET and a solid 7mph faster......so much for the "bling" that comes with 108LSA and evaluating how well that deal works by the "seat of your pants"......FWIW......Cliff
