Re: comp xr270hr roller cam
Looks like an ok combination
I would be leary of the 600cfm, I think it is to small, at least 650 cfm the only thing I worry about is your 2.02 valves will not help you until you get over 4200 rpm so your best power band is not utilized real well. Maybe look at a higher lift cam, and a 650 cfm carb

Re: comp xr270hr roller cam
bigblock, thanks for the comments. i have already bought the cam so ill just stick with it, dont want to get to radical, truck will be a daily driver. comp shows this to be the biggest cam for a stock converter, should i put a little little bit of a converter in tranny? motor should be around 400hp, id be very happy with atleast 375. compared to what i have now(goodwrench 350,around 270hp) i do have a 700cfm edelbrock with maunual choke, guess ill have to play with both and see what works best.

Re: comp xr270hr roller cam
If you want to use a different converter I would not use a large one.
You should be fine with the stock converter for a daily driver. I think the 700 will win this fight

Re: comp xr270hr roller cam
2.02s won't hurt the low end, its a 383 breathing threw 170cc intake ports You didn't post any specs but comps flat tappets equal out to 220* @.050 when they are advertised at 270* so thats what I'll assume. Thats a great mid range spec for a 383. I agree you need a 750cfm, eddy dosen't make a 700cfm that I know of? The 750 will not hurt your throttle response. If you go with a convertor [I wouldn't for a daily driver] 2200 is the biggest I'd get.

Re: comp xr270hr roller cam
Get a stock C4 corvette converter. It'll stall a few hundred RPM's higher without a noticable change in street manners. I actually have one layin around in the garage that you can have for free - shoot me a PM if you're interested

Re: comp xr270hr roller cam
Check the compression recommendation on that cam.
Edit; actually comp posted a dyno sheet @ 9.25:1, so I think that means it'd be fine. http://www.compcams.com/Technical/Dy...0HR-10_001.asp Last edited by Jim_PA; 12-05-2007 at 05:36 PM. |

Re: comp xr270hr roller cam
are your centerbolt heads the ones that came on the TBi motors? If so they aren`t the best flowing heads. That cam would be a nice torque cam, I would run it for sure. I would rethink the heads though.

Re: comp xr270hr roller cam
i will run that cam its already bought, and yes the heads are the tbi center bolts with a nice port job with 2.02/1.6valves, its going to be a daily street motor.

I don`t see a problem with the cam, it`s the heads I see as a problem. They have a necked down intake port about 2" down or so and don`t flow for nothing. They should be 64cc`s as well. Whats the head casting number? You`ll make some good torque but you would see 400-425hp owith those heads. Bigger vlves and port work isn`t going to chage the design of the heads and won`t help much. don`t get me wrong, I`m not trying to knock your combo. aside from the head choice I think it will be a great street motor for a heavy truck.
