DURATION @.050" INT. 204
EXH 214
DURATION 270
280
LOBE SPREAD 112
VALVE LIFT .420
.443
CAM LIFT .280
.295
HEAD SPECS: #882
1.90 INT
1.50 EXH
Any comments on this setup are welcome, also need timing info.
Some people might disagree with me but I would say your carb. is a little big.A 600 might work a little better.I would try and run 34-36 degree's total timing.Go out and try it and see if it( ping's) if it does than back it off a degree or two.Quote:

thats the same specs as the engine i had in my 2dr malibu. i agree with the 600 carb and 34* timing. ran good in my car like that
I would agree. you can go down in carb or go up in cam.
I would go with a crane cams cam kit. they can be had for $100.
and $30 or less for gaskets.
the cam specs
Lift: .454''/.454''
Duration: 272°/272°
RPM Range: 2000-5000
thinking of the gaskets. did you use the manifold end seals when you installed the intake?
the seals that come with the gaskets need to be in the trash can and not on the engine.
