Ryan what did your boat idle at rpm wise? Bravo hold the gear shifts ok around the docks?

SB, Thanks for taking care of me on the vid.

Idling in N was 775-800rpms. Very smooth no stalling or hesitation. I could idle in gear down to 650-675rpms without stalling. Excellent dock manners. This was with an Alpha SS drive. These concerns were given to Bob M and he delivered on the cam. Everything I wanted and more. Your 434 would purr like a kitten with that cam.

Sounds like your working with Bob now but have you ever work'd with Comp Cam's tech? I can send you my Comp contact if your looking for a second opinion. Always treated me fair. I'm definitely interested to hear how your setup turns out. I rebuilt my 350 SBC engines with only minor upgrades (cam and heads) because I've been toying with going 427's sbc's someday. Keep us posted. AB

AB i may look into a second opinion just to see how close they match Bob's numbers but i feel pretty confident he is going to get me going in the right direction. I will keep you posted. Once a decision is made i will go ahead and have the cam ground then will turn my attention to getting risers extended. After that will be the install and i will be tuning it with some timing help from Bob. im figuring 850-800 rpm idle. idles at 800 now and 700-720 in gear. Just had a little boy December 1st so i'll be trying to juggle my time so im not away from him too much but it is most certainly happening!

Bob is the right way to go. He did my small block cam. The results were beyond my expectations.

What ignition module did you use - I forget ?

Merc TB IV 22* advance module tied into a MSD 6AL.
