I am still wondering about how much HP and Torque I will end up with. Once I have that I can drill down the correct size and pitch prop and see where my est performance will fall.
I read some threads from camaro_fever68 and will look into his ignition box, boost retard, rev limiter package. Anyone have this installed that can shed some light?
Yes,by lowering the rpm's you could make the the 6-71 work.
In fact the cam you picked out should work fine with a 6-71.
Always remember with a blown application the cam will seem larger.
