572sc questions
Hello out there,
Questions for some knowledgeable & experienced engine people. Helping a friend with a rebuild project. He has some 572's.
Thinking this combo should produce about 1050hp-1075hp @ 5800-6000 rpm with 93 octane. (is this realistic ??)
Looking for reliability and lower maintenance hence using a hyd roller.
Specs: 572ci
Dart 355cnc heads w/ 2.30 intake valve
8.2 compression
BDS 1071 @ 10psi w/ intercooler
Nickerson 850 carbs
MSD ignition
Camshaft is a hyd roller ---
@ .050 243/251
lift .627/.632
LSA - 113
2" primary exhaust pipes
Here are the questions:
Does the cam need more duration? or what would you recommend
are the 850 carbs large enough?
do the primaries need to come up to 2 1/8" or 2 1/4"?
safe ignition timing?
Thanks in advance & much appreciated

Sounds like a nice build. The cams are a bit short on duration for a 572 in my opinion. I'd also rather see some 1050CFM 4150 style carbs on it. 850's are a little light for a 572 and 10lbs of boost. I'd probably start with timing at 30-32* with the 4.5" stroke.
I'd probably be looking at cams with around 252/262 @ .050
Im not a pro, so you may wanna talk to Eddie Young, Haxby, Bob madera, etc.
