Re: Higher octane??

[Eric R <hoodoovoodooray@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had the .484 cam in mine.  Not too big, but a good rumpity idle.
Car ran 12's with 3.23 gears.  When I changed to auto from 4 speed, it
felt liked it dropped a into the 14's.  It was a dog off the line.,
but would pick up as I got into higher rev's.    When I put the higher
stahl converter in it picked up from the line quite a bit.  I "think"
I used a 2800 stahl... this was quite a few years ago.

Yeh, so .. I think higher stahl might help, but then again it could be
an expensive experiment.

> Hey Eric There's just one problem.......I don't know what size my cam is.  I bought the 440 from an older guy who's wife needed cancer treatment.  And I can't for the life of me remember what size cam he said he put in it.  It does run good and doesn't miss a beat.  It's also got a nice rumpity rump to it.  I think it might have a one step above magnum cam.  My issue is off the line.  If  I was to race someone from let's say 15 mph, good night.  But off the line is kinda slugish.  And I don't really want to change my rear end.  323's are a nice cruising gear.  But I do want to grudge race my buddy in his 71 300 this coming summer.  My plans are to put on an aluminum intake this spring.  Any other thgoughts would be great. Cory 65 Polara w/440 > Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2011 07:35:38 -0800
