Help with Piston and Cam Choice
I'm building a 98 Dodge 12 valve puller (pulling Only) and i am undecided on which pistons and cam i should go with. At what rpm should a billet cam become neceassary. Do they have problems breaking them? I sent my stock cam off to get ground by bullet cams, but i may not use it. I plan on trying to turn 5500 rpm and carry between 4000-4500 rpm going down the track, at events where the 4500 rpm limit is not in affect. As far as pistons, i have a set of FP diesel pistons that are suppose to be marine pistons. They have high compression though, 17.5-1, should i use these pistons and take some material off the top off the pistons(how much, 100 thousandths?) to get compression ratio down maybe to around maybe 13-1, 14-1, or 15-1. Or should i get another set? Suggestions and part numbers would be good. Thanks Skyler
