I've been asking around and getting a lot of conflicting information. Just to clarify which direction I'm leaning.
I'm thinking about intake duration @ 50 somewhere between 194°-212°
If shorter duration on intake ...a bit longer on exhaust ...I think?
Not sure on lift
Somebody very knowledgeable suggested a 194/204 cam with 1:6 rocker arms.
I just want a sweet running engine with plenty of power.I don't want to think about octane, or ambient temperature, or elevation. I just want to jump in and drive. I want to be able to drive 500 miles cross country or an hour in traffic on a hot summer day. If I can beat most grocery getters when the light turns green, Bonus.
