[QUOTE]Originally posted by AaronC: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by JoeT: [qb] great job with the car. I think anyone would have to agree that if a car is encountering a problem at an rpm 100 above it's current HP peak, that advancing the cam a little bit is going to improve the on-track performance. Of course solving the spark related problem would be better still. I see absolutely nothing technically wrong with the earlier statement that advancing the cam is more than likely to improve net area under the TQ curve between the on-track shift points. Anything else is mindless, pointless bashing of a member with a faster car( correction, 2 faster cars) than (I think) all of us here. [/qb][/QUOTE]Advancing the cam is a band aide. Since it was a custom then it should of been a smaller cam if lower shift points etc were wanted. The graph is clean and makes avg. power everywhere so this advancing stuff is bogus. As far as power problems above peak power, it all started out at 5000 rpms and is now up to 6500ish. His valve train is setup right. The springs that are in it are used in pure street cars that spin regularly to the 8000 mark. His lifters are Shermans which are modified stock ones which will take spring pressures of solid lifters. This setup was meant to shift out at 6800-7000 RPM. It's peak is right where it should be given that target shift when the setup was in the creating. All that's left is to get it to shift PAST peak power and here comes more mph because he'll be in the meat of the power band it was designed for at the track. [/QB][/QUOTE]
