What is the primary use of the car? 241/249 @ .050" seems HUGE for a street driven 355 with a 2600 converter.
IMHO - I would like to see a cam with less overlap to build compression, rather than bleed it off. The lunati cam has 25 degrees of overlap. I bet the DCR sucks with thats camshaft. I would like to see something like a 230/234, on a 112 LSA, 108 or 109 ICL, and .550"-ish lift. I know a SFT cam loses some of the specs through the lash, but I think the modern grinds require less lash... therefore not as much of a loss. Focus on power under the curve instead of peak power. Just my $0.10 worth...

And forget the 4/7 swap...waste of time, money and effort on a mild street engine.

I have been playing with close to 12 different cams in the desktop dyno program and 106/102 gave the best numbers without falling on its face after 4500 the other cam that looked good is a 108/102 oval track cam also grind 30121101 which is 2000-6500

update ended up with an isky 246/246 @.050 274/274 advertised .534/.534 lift on a 108 love it works great with my setup. I did have to put in a vacuum canister to help with the breaks though.

Good choice on the solid flat tappet....will out perform a hyd roller every time.
Are your power brakes ok ...perhaps a hydroboost setup. Btw a larger lca will give more vac and have a wider power band but gives up some peak power and torque. |

Single pattern and tight LSA should be very torquey. What's the ICL?

True ICL 108 I will try to post some pics tonight of the cam change. I ended up paying more for lifter than the cam but here was the parts list for the cam change. Realize this was done in the summer and I found three wiped lobes on the old camshaft. More pics will post what I got.

I also wanted to add I did my homework before buying the cam used Vizard's formula to spec it out
