The search function doesn't like three-letter terms like "web" "cam" and "163" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Anyone running a Web #163 grind? What do you think of it? I actually have one that I got secondhand (unused), and am wondering if I should use it in a 2258 build, or get something else. |

The 163 is a good cam, but doesn't offer the benefits of split lift or duration, something the TIV has proved to LOVE for years..
I now only use a derivative of this cam for Turbo engines... You need to make sure of the base corcle of the camshaft, else you may have cam lobes contacting the connecting rods on that 2258, since its a stroker engine requiring a reduced base circle camshaft. Its all in the combo. |

Is it new or used?? If its used, do you have the lifters it was ran with?

I talked to someone at Web yesterday, and they recommended 7.5-8:1 compression ratio on 91-92 octane pump gas. That seems awful conservative to me... and it would take a 75cc combustion chamber, or a .125 deck height, to get that low on a 96x78mm engine.
