Re: 598 - which heads and cam for 750hp
Seems like alot of you guys are running big cams. How low do they idle? What happens when you drop it in gear?
What do you think a cam with 244/256 @50 and 0.632" lift on 114 will do/make in this engine?

Re: 598 - which heads and cam for 750hp
Several people are advising big heads and big cams. In your first post you stated your goals of 750 hp at @ 5500. With 598's it's not hard to make 750. 355cc heads and long duration cams will push the power peak too high up in rpms. Look at building an engine like gg10's with a smaller cam. Several of us are using AFR315's and 335's on 540's with cams around 236/240 duration .630 lift making around 700hp. Using those same components will make more hp on a 598 just because of the larger cubes.

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like the cam isn't the best out there considering the heads are Dart Pro1 and the exhaust is EMI elbow top.

R. V. I'm on the south side and have a set of N/A 540's that make 730 hp. with unported darts. P.m. me and we can talk. If you have seen or been on any CPC run you'll know our boat.
