396_WAYS_TO_SPIT:
I have a bbc 454 .30 over,balanced,9:5:1 comp, torker II intake holey 750 cfm vac sec,flat top pistons and large oval port (ported) heads. My question is why does everybody tell me not to go higher than 235 duration @.50 on my cam? One guy told me I would float the cam. Is this true. He also said jets dont turn enough rpm's to make power where the cam wants to. Is this true? Could someone help a brotha out? All I want is a good cam with a very healthy and loppy sound without adjustments all the time. Go down to Wilky's on Mesa Dr and Main. Talk to George. He has an Iske catalog that gives the breakdown of what cams to run based on impellor cut and boating preference, ie. pleasure, racing, skiing, etc. We set up my Schiada with a hydraulic cam out of the catalog and never had a problem with it. Now I am getting ready to put a new motor in my other boat and we used the same catalog and I dont anticipate any problems there either.
