Thanks Dave, I'll have to keep in mind the H.P. rating of that cam and my software I am using. I dont want the injectors to overwork or approach static conditions. This can cause a lean out and burn pistons or worse. I am 'looking' at 500-550 H.P. I know this doesnt sound like much but I want to establish a 'baseline' first then future mods like bigger cams, injectors, re-programming the fuel tables will follow. I appreciate your advice cause I'm 'charting' some new territory here with the Flex fuel capabilities so a smooth but good running tune will be a big advantage in my pursuit of a turn-key no fuss no muss engine that makes excellent torque and is a pleasure to drive. I'm kinda glad that Dave H. ended up giving me more ratio than I thought I needed, a blower/turbo would get complicated real fast and there is less of a room for error in the tune due to the increase in manifold pressure and heat. The basics still apply regardless of fuel/spark management and for this I need all the advice I can get!dave-r wrote:I would stick with that one Eddie. I think it will be OK. Very strong.
My own cam is 237/242 duration and sounds like its hot motor but still idles fine at 850rpm. Yours being 500 inches should work out about the same with that 242/248 cam.
