Exhaust system question
At what point do you worry about have a water reversion problem in your exhaust system. Stellings headers and tail pipes. Water enters the tail pipes about 16 inches away from the header were it meets the tail pipe.
|
It depends on how much overlap the cam has
|
cam
It has a over lap of 90.0 degrees
|
I would go back and check that number
|
Cam
That's what it comes up to be in the calculation online. It's 264/272 @ .050 on 114 LSA. It said to put it in as advertised duration
|
40* overlap at .050"
No way to find overlap at seat without those #'s. |
That's some big duration for a marine cam.
high compression and race fuel? |
Cam
OK got my cam card out today. Is there a particular number to look for when it comes to reversion
|
40* is a lot of overlap and likely to revert water with wet exhaust. Most marine cams are 20* or less.
It will also depend on how many cubic inches you have. A cam that reverts in a 502 might not in a 540 and will be mild for a 572. Camshaft Overlap Calculator - Wallace Racing |

Thanks for the input. Not looking to change cams or anything just trying to avoid a problem in advance. Was not wanting to have to change my tail pipes because they have built in mufflers but it looks like I don't have a choice all good.

The over lap it 42. And yes they ate 600 ci super charger engines with a good amount of boost and a decent amount of RPM.

Make sure you post a video of those bad boys running. Also you'll want to be dry to the tip.
