So I'm doing a 1911 with 36dells
Looked at alot of threads that say Raby's 9550 does everything from keeping head temps down to removes rust. Most people say 8.3 to 1 for max with FI. Other folks seam to be running higher compression with carbs, but????? Are you still using a 9550 and just upping the compression or are you using a different cam/grind? My goal is a streetable hotrod that revs quick/ idles well and is alot more fun than my tired old 1.7 I'm looking at his valvetrain kits but want to understand what people are using and the"numbers" before I commit to a cam. Thanks!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |

The cam that others are using will make no impact on the cam I will work with you to select for YOUR engine.
My method of cam selection won't allow mistakes to be made. have you viewed my camshaft and valve train presentations? All the answers are there. the 9550 is strictly for stock FI for the 914. the only carbureted engines that receive the 9550 are for VW Buses with dual 40mm carbs. Just because the 9550 is popular, doesn't mean it will be what I select for your engine. |
