When this project started reliability was the Highest of priority with a stable long life valve-train and a target HP of 800HP was the Goal@6000rpm. I was willing to sacrifice max hp for reliability Motor is sitting in my shop with short block assembled, camshaft installed ready to bolt together. Unfortunately I have lost interest in the project. I let myself get led along by Bobs BS for over a year and finally had to distance myself from him. What I found interesting was how quick he was to point to others for his repeated failures to deliver as promised. I have since spoke with a couple of individuals Bob pointed to with fault and it turns out Bob is the one not them who didn't deliver. Not a Fan of MK done with this jerk off. |

That`s a healthy cam with some lift , I like it . what do you run it up to? Ever dyno it? Whats it idle like?
Need more info :D 555ci JC Performance/Smith Power Brodix 2x heads Roots blown 6lbs boost 262/272 112 LSA 109 ICL 708/708 Crane solid roller cam, lobe designs from track roller profiles. Using same cam in a 573 now Tried Comp Cams same specs, made more boost but less power so numbers don't always tell the whole story. |

On the 555cid; ran at 5900rpm WOT. Made over 850 at 6300 on Brad's dyno. Have a short video of it idling but cannot post it, says it's too large; it idles at 1100rpm, 700rpm in gear with no surge. Doesn't matter which carbs either; same idle using three different sets (differing CFM), it's easy to tune. I should mention that the Comp Cams steel billet cam was ground on a 114 LSA. I think that's where the boost was gained and where the power was lost in this combination.

Seems like whomever picked that cam, may have known a thing or two. Bet it made pretty good power too. I did use the BB2X flow data, with CNC ported chambers. Not sure if you have that, or any chamber work, either way, fun stuff. |
Would be interesting to see dyno numbers with those already listed, assuming they've been dyno'd

First one was mine 630 hp and 638 tq in marine trim

Were those cams from MK?

I have almost the same setup as you do. 540 -315 AFR heads. The cam is 246*-250* at .050 >663-.654 lift. 112 lc. Can you post what you replaced that MK cam with and what the result it made? I am going to rebuild and might make a change.
