"sometimes a girley cam is not all bad
with all the stuff that some say doesnt work, mild hyd flat tappet cams, torq 2 intakes, undersized carbs, mech FP, mech fan, cheap radiator, somehow they make power, lol
got my new Quickfuel 750 back from Kevin @ CSU, idles around 650-700, smooth, def brings in the power earlier, so the rear tires tell me, lol
i have a soft tuneup in it now, 593/633 to the rear tires on 8 lbs boost, torque comes in pretty early, didnt go over 5600 RPM-the converter didnt like the dyno, flashed to much
Chris Staub told me a custom hyd roller would prob net me another 75-90 HP, more torq
i could prob add another 6-8 lbs of boost, but with the budget engine, i dont know, lol
cast stroker crank, truck rods, but forged pistons-its just a street car anyway, OD trans, killer stereo, super driveability "
first let me congratulate you on having a nice combo that works
but I need to point out,I had to laugh reading the combo and obvious tongue in cheek conclusion,ITS NICE TO SEE A LOW BUCK BUILD THAT WORKS WELL.
the girlie cam, small heads,low compression ratio, restrictive intake would all "suck" on a N/A application where the piston dropping away from TDC was the source of the pressure drop that potentially filed the cylinders. but once you swap from DRAWING in the fuel/air charge (letting outside air pressure alone fill the cylinders,) and use the engine rotation to FORCE air in with a supercharger your totally changed the flow dynamics, thats about like saying your totally immune to damage from a 9mm handgun, well as long as you stand behind a 1" thick 4'x8' sheet of hardened armor plate steel.
without the supercharger the combo most likely would "suck" those components are restrictive, its just that the supercharger allows them to function reasonably well, where they would be far less functional without it.
and if you changed intakes, heads and the cam, you could still unlock further potential
