A couple of points when synchronising the carburettors. When you set up the carburettor idle air flow ( with the air bypass screws fully in )...
Thanks for your follow up information. I remember I couldn't get the car up the driveway with the 55 idles so I went from 60 to 65 in quick...
I have run simulations based on my known 308 ferrari engine combinations of CR, cam timing and ignition curves and found I can run up to a maximum...
Great work! Losing 4 cc chamber volume shouldn't be too hard. 20 thou off the piston ( keep 5mm crown thickness), remove some material around the...
Hi Derek, I think Mark in post 19 sums it up well! Degree marks on the pulley may be more confusing than helpful? I have used Frank Capo steel...
Derek, My experience has been that with an advanced exhaust cam (less overlap),manifold vacuum is increased and part throttle response & torque...
Here is the simulation of euro cams at 9:1 CR compared to the 348 crank 10:1 catcam setup. You might be able to run 10.5 CR with the catcams but...

Thought I should put this with the other graphs. QV London have a road cam with a 10.2mm lift, used with standard springs and shim on bucket...
Derek, I am enjoying this thread as are others, and may chime in if it seems useful or adds something. I saw you were going to use cometic...
I haven't the lift curve data to map the catcam lobe agression but the curves give the impression of where things start and finish. The intake is...
