guess you can say im a 318 kindof guy. im not looking to win races...just want to see how much i can get out of the 318.

if i wanted to get crazy horses and win races and drive really fast i would build a chevy. too easy too cheap ...

i just like my 318

 

Gotcha. I was trying to think of ways to make the horsepower you want. Guess its time to
check out a custom cam grind at least.

 

or just buy one already done

 

You could, but I guarantee you'll get better results with a call to comp cams for a custom
grind. Cost the same as one already done up.

 

well...thats what i meant vs. getting hotrod jean here to do it.

however, that means pulling the motor and im not interested in doing that just yet. if i go that far, i will go ahead and get new piston to go zero deck and get better compression.

maybe this winter

 

anybody here running an aftermarket cam?

 

Buddy stroked his 318 to 347ci (5.7L) first time. With the 347 he had 52tb, m1/2bbl, rt202 hds (out of the box), mild cam, shorty hdrs, no cat, 14x3k&n Put down 270rwhp with his 94 regcab Dak. Hes going all forged 390ci w/boost now.

I have a custom grind Comp Cam in my 408

 

the cam is definately not my game... i would be lying to say i knew what to ask for. do i just call comp and tell them my application and just trust them to sell me what i need?

 

Pretty much. You tell them what you have or in your case what your going to have, what
you want it to do, how you drive, etc, and they will help you pick a cam thats right for your
application. I haven't done a cam swap myself, yet, but my understanding is that you don't
have to pull the motor in our trucks to do it.

 

oh really.....hmmm
