Great point. And I agree 100%.
Thus the reason I insisted and made a 4-way conference call with the engine builder, Street & Performance (FI), Comp Cams, and myself when designing the engine. All three of them agreed on the components on that date. But you would be surprised how they all started running for the hills when the combination didnt work out. They all made the recommendation on the cam until it didnt work out. Then they all claimed I installed the wrong cam!!!
As we all know...too much cam is wrong for any combination. But this cam isnt too much. It just seems too much for FI.
I stand by my original thoughts that a hot rod must sound like a hot rod...not a late model camaro or mustang (no offense meant...I know they too can be a hot rod...especially compared to a rice burner). But there is something special (in my opinion!!!) about a Henry Ford car which sounds like it wants to let loose on the asphault. So I am simply wanting to search out experience from anyone who has ran a BG 6-Shooter or Edelbrock Dual Quad so I can learn which one would work the best in this combination.
Thanks again!
