Re: cam

[moparbikeguy@xxxxxxx]

I took your advise for my '65 Dart 273, Don. Ordered the XE256H cam from Summit today. I was surprised to note that it was less expensive than by going through Comp cams directly.
Heads are back from the machine shop. Received my head gaskets yesterday through (believe it or not) Amazon.Com. Compression ratio now specs at 9.3:1. Quench could be better though. Headers are on order from Harold at Spitfire. A lot of good and bad press on him. Hope that he comes through.
Comp Cams model indicates 259.5 HP @ 5000RPM. 310.7# @ 4000RPM. Hope to be consistent and reliable at low operating costs even if the slowest car at the track.

The compression ratio is going to be the bugaboo. You will need a cam like the 
exreme energy comp with a snubbed intake duration. . Maybe XE256H 
I ran the /6 rail yesterday. It was wonderful tire blistering pass with nothing 
breaking It went so well I made the on shakedown run and deceided to load the 
car ad go home and smile. I need to change a few minor things.(like the old 
cracked 9 inch slicks) Carbs worked flawless and the little six actualy scard me 
when the tires broke lose at about the 60 foot mark . I couldnt tell where the 
eighth was so i ran the full quarter . I didnt have my  open face helmut strap 
tight enough so the wind was trying to pull it off my head by the traps and my 
driving glasses had blown up inside the helmut on top of my head. I could hardly 
see but i didnt care! i stayed in it till the traps. Sure is a lot of fun for a 
washed up ol fart. Thing sounds ike an old airplane.
I hope you have as much fun with you car and your 273.
Don
