Why spend THOUSANDS on a 347 only to put a junk guessing game camshaft in?!!?!?!!?!?! Put the RIGHT cam in to give you what you want. I can tell you my custom FTI cam is MUCH bigger and it drives awesome.
It's not a guessing game, more of a learning game...Even if I had FTI do a custom cam, I'd still want to know the specs and I'd still want to understand what was going on and why my car performs the way it does...
BTW, I've have chatted with Mr. Curtis, he'll likely be doing my cam once my combo is complete, but the motor will possibly be going in with stock intake and exhaust...This cam will likely be temporary, but in the car while doing final mods...
As far as cams go, I understand the concepts but not the applications - that is - from reading, I know what lift, duration and lobe separation are, but I don't know how they relate to idle, power, and emissions...
It's kinda like knowing what passes, runs, and 1st downs are, but not having any idea how to put a drive together for a touchdown...Some guys are satisfied watching the hits and the great plays...I want to know what made the plays work...
Can anybody maybe refer me to some reading material? Maybe provide a link? I've searched quite a bit but haven't come up "cams for dummies" yet...
