Ok. I like that. Not too rough....dont want the Wifes teeth to chatter.

My calculator shows DCR at 8.44 with that cam. Should work great.

I don't see any of these goobers using any kind of hearing protection

It is very unrealistic to use uncapped headers for anything, but all out race cars. Also dyno work done that way is a poor excuse for dyno print outs

Uhhh, that youtube video is of a 383 AFR headed 195 on an engine run it stand. Not a dyno. An engine stand is for test firing an engine and verifying oil pressure, any leaks, or any visual issues before the engine goes in the car.

This post was to answer the idle question post about the camshaft.

The post 2 down is the engine that made the dyno sheet I posted. This engine belongs to one of the engineers at Federal Mogul.
