Ok, Thanks for those that offered to help! Her is my info: Crank Stroke 3.75, Rod length 6", ADV intake closing angle ??????? Intake duration 287, exhaust duration, 293, LSA 114, ICL 110, Int. Open 8, Ex. Open 59, int. closed 48, ex. closed 3, Bore diameter 4.030, stroke 3.75, head CC 74, gasket thickness .040, gasket bore 4.060, deck height 0.00, flat top pistons with 5 cc valve relief, quench .040. If any more info is needed let me know! If possible check advanced 4 and retarded 4. Thanks Kevin
With your numbers you have a SCR of 9.9597073556045 and a dcr of 7.41084521372311.
Havn't milled the deck yet, plan is to have 0.015.
I will yse a 0.029 gasket.
Did you use a 0.039 gasket to get these numbers?
If I retard the cam 4*, how will this affect the dcr?
Anyway I have decided to go for the bigger XE280 cam, just to be on the safe side with the dcr.
If I type in the XE280 values, I get the same dcr, very strange!
Should change, as the IVC is different!
Yes it should change as the timing events are moved.
these numbers were based on the .029 gasket you said you were using, for some reason the dcr stroke cam out lower for me using your numbers.

That really sucks!!! I designed this build according to the KB DCR site which put me at a safe 8.2. Now I realize I am at a doggy 7.4 with a $375 custom ground cam I can't return Can anybody run the 4 degree advanced and 4 degree retard numbers for me to see if I can salvage this thing. I might have to sell my new AFR heads or rethink my cam choice. Bad information is worse than none sometimes.
Ha!
Finely I found the solution!
When I changed my settings from "Swedish" to "English United States" in the Control Panel settings it started to work as it should!
The pgm can't handle different decimal separators!
The XE280 gives dcr 8.9 and with the cam 4* retard 8.5
Now I can order that new cam without beeing worried

Kevin,
Looks like about 9.9:1 SCR with a 7.4 DCR so I have to agree with The King. A little bit too low IMHO. I tossed out your intake and exhaust opening and closing events as I suspect they are @.050" or some other lift point but we need seat to seat numbers there. I just went with the advertised duration and lobe centerlines to get to the actual open and close points.
You might like a little less cam in there or a swap to a smaller head might work. 64cc heads would put you at 11:1 SCR and 8.23 DCR. Right in the zone

KB calculator sucks!!! My #s are seat to seat. Anybody want to buy a brand new $1400 set of 74 CC Afr 190 heads still in the box? $1250!
what is the part number on the heads i am in the market for my build. do you have the flow numbers on them?
1001. Here is the specs on the AFR site.http://www.airflowresearch.com/190sbc_sh.php These are marked 2.05 and 1.60. The AFR site says they are 2.02 and 1.60 valves. I bought these from Sallie Chevrolet, Now Gilbert Chevrolet. Think they were special order not picked up. All ports and chamber fully CNC machined.

i need more flow with my displacement and cam specs. too bad they will not work out for me. i am sure someone will be all over these. perhaps you might get someone to swap a set for you since they are still i n the box.
9.9 too low even with NOS????
AWWWW MAN...Kevin...this sucks!!!! Delays you BIG TIME!! Sorry to hear.
Eddie
It does SUCK! The 9.95 to 1 compression ratio is fine with me but the 7.4 DCR is CRAP!!! I really like these heads too. They flow better than the 215 CC victor JR's with the 190 CC port size to up your low and midrange torque. Best of both worlds and they don't make them anymore. I could mill them but I would have to take .054 off each deck to get the comp I need to run my cam. Might end up doing that since AFR is 12 weeks out on the new heads.
I e-mailed and called their customer service and Tech lines a couple hours ago and left a message explaining the situation with their calculator. We will see how they respond to their customers! Maybe their's is right. I patterned my build off the engine on AFR's website. bumped the static compression .35 and opened up the LSA 4 degrees to work better with my nitrous, widen the torque band and reduce overlap for even more DCR. I would think AFR would dial in the correct DCR on their test engine to obtain optimum power and not be running a test engine with less than 7.4 DCR????

Left 2 e-mails and 2 phone messages 1 ea. with customer service and tech line. No response!
Just for clarification....overlap doesn't have anything to do with DCR. It occurs at wrong end of the 4 strokes. Both valves are open...there is no compression happening right then.

Yep, I just reported Eagle to the BBB Saturday, I am done playing phone tag. I figure if I can recover any of my money through them then great. If not then I still have to fix it anyway.
