advantage is the 347 will be faster

 

Anytime you build cubes, you're better off. If there ever actually were oiling problems, they're fixed. Do not listen to anyone who tells you a 347 kit will affect the engine life.

 

should I quit driving mine to work 5 days a week???@!!?!?!??!?!

 

I don't know how you can afford to put oil in it.

 

Lol tons of people said engine life is reduced with a 347. What size cam would be a powerfull but streetable one? I was thinking something like an f303

 

93 hatch who makes your bottom end and what size injectors and cam are you running

 

bottom end is a girdled and washered pos built by a local shop.
30 lb injectors
jay allen nitrous cam (lulz)

driven 7 days a week

 

Oh geeeezus. Here it goes...........







Letter cams are the biggest piles of crap. They make great lamp posts. There was a thread just last week from a guy with an E cam in his stroker, and he wanted to know why it made 300 rwhp. They were designed for 302 cu/in, and they suck for that. When you add 45 cubes, they really suck! If you're going to spend the money on a stroker, don't cheap out on the heads or cam. It only costs a little more for a custom cam, and the advantages are huge.

If you're going to run GT40s, or Windsor Srs, or anything of that sort, save your money on the stroker kit, because you'll have an expensive TURD. If that was the plan, you will make a LOT more power, by not buying the stroker kit, and buying a good set of heads instead, and keeping it a stock stroke, with a good cam.








In case you didn't get it......LETTER CAMS SUCK! And don't run shitty heads on a stroker. Good heads on a 302 will go faster.

 

I have a set of twisted wedge 190 cc heads i just have to find a good cam to match my set up

 

degreed zcam should do it

 

Anyone heard anything about lunati cams?

 

Were is the like button?

 

Will i be able to use my 24 lb injectors or have to Go higher?

 

If you use a shitty lunati cam, your bbk intake, then yes those injectors will be fine. You will have a 12.90 347 at 105 with some tire.

 

I would like to be 12.50 maybe lower and would like to shoot for 400 rwhp

 

Not going to happen. That combo would make around 320 to the tire.

 

Better intake, and a good cam will get you there. But I must say, if you're making 400 to the tires, and run anywhere in the 12s, you've got other issues lol.

If you're stuck on an OTS cam, a lot of people are happy with Andeson cams. If you want the most out of it, I'd contact Bullet, FTI, or Cam Motion.

 

Oh, and yes, you need injectors.

 

Nah 12 sec at 128. Roll racing son.

 

I was looking at like 530 lift 288 duration and 1.6 rockers, so id have to upgrade to atleast 30 lb injectors?

 

Why? And as long as that intake is on your car with a small mafe and headers keep the 24lbers.

 

You really can't tell much about a cam by it's lift, and full advertised duration numbers, but that cam sounds way small for a 347. My cam has almost that much duration at .050.

Don't just look at cams, and pick one. If you're stuck with an OTS cam, which is not a good choice IMO, get your whole combo lined out. Know everything that's going to be on the car, your compression, gears, weight of the car......everything. Once you get everything lined out, then call the cam manufacturers and let them recommend a cam to you. There's no way the average car guy can spec a cam. There's way too much that goes into it. If you just pick one, there's a 99.9% chance that you're leaving a whole lot on the table.


Two cams can have the same lift, and total duration, and be totally different. With those numbers, you know nothing about ramp rates, overlap, centerline, ect......which all affect cylinder pressures, and those are the things that determine how the cam will perform.


Get your whole combo and then you get the cam. It's always the last piece of the puzzle. If you buy a cam, then try to build an engine around it, it will be a giant turd.

 

Oh and if 12.50s are your goal, save the stroker kit for something else. That's so retardedly easy with a stock cubic inch engine, even 93hatch could piece together something for that. A 12.50 347 is SLOWWWW..........you could save a lot of money, and run 12.50s with an Anderson cam, and GT40s, on the 302.

 

i would do 331 beat the snot out of then go to the 347. like having two engines in one

 

WTF? So you would prefer to buy two cranks and two sets of rods? Please share your thinking on this?

 

My real goal would be 11.90, thatd be perfect but at the same time i want it to be an everyday car and not break the bank either, i already have the twisted wedge heads off another project, and the bbk longtubes. I have 3.73 rear gears and the car weights about 3300 with me in it. What would be a good company to talk to about a cam for my set up

 

Then a 347 isn't for you. 347s can be daily driven and are not un-reliable or anything like that if it's put together properly. You should find a nice anderson grind, get a better intake, and toss your heads on your 302 and call it a day.

 

11.90s are so so easy, while retaining drivability. I like Bullet, but FTI, and Cam Motion are good as well. The builds sheets are pretty extensive, so you need to have everything else in place first.

 

Either way im going for a stroker set up and the 347 is the same price as the 331. More cubes for the same price.

 

More cubes for the same price, I agree with you on that. But why have the car down for longer to be just as fast as it will be if you throw the heads on your curren't engine?

:lmao


I love the "i wanna build a stroker" but has no idea what there doing thing

ugh, epic luls

I'm saying son, shits outta hand.

 

cam, exhaust, suspension, and tires will get you 12s, add spray...and you got 11s
