Stabbed the 8.1!!!
Put a new cam in on sunday. What ficking bear. 12 hours of manual labor. But what a sweet sound that is when at idle. It is a xr 270 from comp cams.Thanks, Tierod on the Good deal for the cam. Can't really tell now still babying it.
Question is once this thing gets a tune, do think it will perform better? (stuipd?i know)
How much better?
Bascially, just wanted to embellish little. after having the 8.1 down to heads and block. putting back to together is kind of rewarding. And that nice loping idle. MMMM loping idle MMMM

Cool.
What sized cam did you go with? 270 advertised works out to be about 216-220 at .050, right?
What lift and LSA is it running?
I'm curious because I hear a lot of people with strokers going huge on cams. They say the extra cubes will eat up the cams... I don't deny that, I just don't they will to the extent that they're adding duration and lift to their cams.

Biggest one comp cams makes for the 8.1. There a little of stumble at throttle tip-in. once your rolling not to bad. It not huge by far, but is a daily driver. It idle at 550rpms, when the ac kicks on it almost dies. pickup does shake ever so slightly.
Still sounds cool!!!
