Since i`ll be running a fairly high comp on my engine (11:1) i was told that thats the "Static comp" and with a healty cam you`ll bleed off some comp(Dynamic comp?).How do i figure out what the "real" comp is? :cheers:
DCR is dependant on cam events (effective swept volume from TDC to where intake valve closes) The DCR is a fixed number, the cylinder pressure is dependant on rpm, intake & exhaust efficiency, temperature, athmospheric pressure.. yadda yadda.... The thing to watch with high static compression is that you don't get a cam that is so short it will give high cranking pressure at low rpm, you'll need a crank retard box for it then. To bleed off at low rpm you need a longer cam, that has more pumping loss.
I don't like compCams or their web site. I find it difficult to get the cam card on your 288 roller cam
I see that they now claim one day custom ground cams. I would like them to tell me why mine took 42 days and I got charged for 3 cams. They claim to sell things that they don't really have.
Heres some tech info from Summits site:
Specifications:
* Advertised duration: 288 intake/288 exhaust
* Duration at .050 in cam lift: 246 intake/246 exhaust
* Gross valve lift: .623 in. intake/.623 in. exhaust
* Lobe separation: 110 degrees
* RPM range: 2,200 to 6,500
* Great all-around power
* 3,000 plus stall with lower gear
* Use headers and 9.5:1 or higher compression
* Rough idle

is that for dynamic compression? That indeed doesn't sound right, it should be somewhere between 75, and 8,5 for a street engine and about as hgh as 9 for a race engine. For it to be around 9 w/ a generic 290 cam you'd need a static compression of about 12:1
