The story the dyno tells is what drives my decisions for those calculations.
And none of the "others" have dynoed camshafts back to back, ever.

:clap:
I despise R&D that is done unknowingly on a customers dime. I have been that customer too many times.
I think he understands but i dont think you do. Your trying to build a competiton pulling engine and you dont know what stock compression is for the engine your building???? Do you really think you should be building anything in the first place? Your going to take someones money and dont know where to start.
When I design a cam profile I look at the application and then lay out where I want the events to happen. Next I determine how I want to achieve the maximum area under the curve.
None of that involves the terms “overlap, Lobe separation angle, Intake centerline or even duration”. Those numbers are calculated after the fact to put on the cam card.

Megatron, Bullydog 6.4 truck, Dan Clarke, etc. There are many making damn good numbers with MaxSpool cams. Myself I have a MaxSpool cam in every one of my built trucks and those are all making north of 800+ HP at the wheels including one of them being a p-pumped 24V. I know Dan Clarke does back to back cam dynos also and he switched over to MaxSpool after his own discoveries.

Thanks for the info i'd like to hear a little more about your ppumped 24 valve if you would we are at the point where we can pretty much pick anyway we want to go on most anything.
Also besides the cam we have to round up tappets and pushrods, need some opinions billet? is it worth the money? i'd rather be recommended to spend the money now rather than down the road when it breaks also is there anyone that makes billet tappets and again would it be worth it?
Same can be said about cams.
We went from a more polish then port, to a mid range ported head, and lost over 20psi of boost, for the same power. That was enough to make us believers and are going to a full done head this year.

Likely no matter what cam you choose your customer is going to get schooled by a truck running a Precision or HX60 charger therefore the question is moot.
email me the dyno sheets with "back to back" swaps. did you ever think that maybe you could make more with a better cam? just stating facts not being a know it all. and 800hp 2.6? Thats 300-400hp shy of the " winning" trucks around here. Any big event wins with these maxspool swaps? the question isnt horsepower....its could you make more with a different cam
Obviously i do know where to start or i wouldnt even have an engine :doh: and im obviously not building the engine or doing any of the guess work or machining by myself, theres a reason i took it to a reputable machine shop i will give any advice thats put out there but the its not any of your customers so unless you want to help me out a little and give some usable comments to inform me a little better you dont have to comment, im asking questions is that a bad thing... at least im not like alot of people that try to act like they know everything there is to know be respectable and keep your trash talking useless comments to yourself. Next, the customer is as fully involved in this build as me as you can see he commented so you knows every aspect to this situation so i will tell you again i dont care what you think about ANYTHING except how to make this engine run the best it can.
O and i havent taken any money and its already started just fine so you can go to h*ll bud just because i have 20 some posts doesnt mean im anymore willing to listen to your debauchery once again i have been nothing but respectful and truthful posting and this is the crap that shows up for comments. Maybe you dont understand i find it stupid as h8ll and piss8ng me off that spent more time defending myself than talking about this engine....Rant off
7.5 stroker . You being the key to the operation. Ok, you win makes us all feel better. These guys especially the ones in this thread know a thing or two. This is comp d. I see your new, welcome. But on that note listen, you'll learn something.

At the end of the day it all engines still seem to be slave to the charger.

Tell me to go to hell again and you can take your self right off this forum! I dont care what makes you mad or pisses you off run your mouth to me and there wont be any forum here for you to ask a question on. Loose the **** head attitude also. You want to be a asshole right out of the gate then your going to to get this kinda responce from guys that see through your BS!
are you getting at that no matter what you wanna do with the engine, that it all boils down to having a good charger setup with adequite fuel ratio? wont a cam help get more air to the engine allowing the charger to suck more air in and allow more fuel to be burnt leading to the ultimatum of more power? im confused, help me out a bit on what your trying to get at.
