Lets Talk Cams

[Claviger]

So the head package from carp, leaving the pistons alone, could be done to put Peak HP right around 7,000 with a 500 RPM overrun then or would that require the bottom end to be rebuilt as well?

 

[Tripps]

Carpenter doesn't touch the bottom end, even with the pistons. But without different cams, you aren't going to make power at 7000 rpm

Ya I am aware it peaks around 5800 now, which is why I was wondering if stock pistons + carp head/cam can peak at 7k or does that require a cam that will only work well with aftermarket pistons.

You can do just cams if you like BUT what are you looking for powerwise ?

Just pondering a build that will hold at least 150lb-ft from 2.5k - 7k ish using CES headers for a long linear feel more than having a lump of power towards the top which gives that top end "rush".

I like long flat torque curves more than bulging top ends, can this be done on a stock bottom end?

 

[Tripps]

Ahh, but the rush........ LOL

 

[Tripps]

Done in a roundabout way

that things still making 175 lbs at 7k!
