327 Build Cam Selection
Hey Guys
Getting the 327 done and need to pick a cam soon. The car is a 66 Nova 2 door hardtop. Small journal 327, .030" over, Muncie 4 speed, 12 Bolt 3.73:1 Eaton with around a 24.5" rear tire.
The car is a going to be a cruiser with the odd mash of the throttle..lol
No power brakes.
Using flat top Speed pro hypers, decked block, .040" quench, around 62 cc domes in 291 double humps. 2.0/1.6 valves. Guide plates, screw in studs. Running a holley 600, L79 490 winters intakes, 1.5" headers with duals and an H-pipe. Electronic ignition.
Static compression is between 9.85 and 10 depending on exactly where the heads come in at.
Looking at the following cams. My builder likes the old Comp 270H. I was thinking it might build a little too much dynamic compression with an IVC of 61
With the 10.0:1 compression the 270H comes in at 8.14 dynamic. Too high?
I like the XE274 with IVC of 63 bring the dynamic right to 8.0 if I hit right arout 10:1. Comp tech line which originally told me to go XE268 is now saying XE 274 or Comp 280..
Thoughts are appreciated.
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
