Pure Stock Drag Racing tips & tricks

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I'm picking up the heads tonight, no 'cheatin' done to them, just getting them relooked at while I had the engine down for the cam swap.

I originally installed a Comp Cams with a little more lift, and a little less duration, but with a lot less 'overlap' in an effort to increase cylinder pressure and therefore bottom end torque. After learning a little more about cams from Pete, Rob and others, I realized that this cam was not what I really wanted, and that the stock cam is the best. So, I tore it down, and found some other issues to straighten out, (like a little valve cover oil leak, cracked oil sending switch, etc...) but now am in the rebuilding stage.

Anyone want to suggest the easiest way to degree a cam, without buying the whole degree kit?

Isn't there cam bottons made? I think they have different degrees in them like 3 degress advanced and so. I would call Crane and ask them what they advise, Maybe put it in straight up. Line the marks up. I would make a call though. Going to see you at Lansdale: (Under The Lights) Same weekend as GM Carlisle. Sat. nite Sam

Sam is right call crane --it will save you a lot of trial work---

They told me if I wore the dress and the high heels, they'd pay me $100. I was young back then, and needed the money.....

I'm workin on it! The heads are back on, the Crane Blueprint cam is in, lifters and pushrods, along with the timing chain and gears. I hope to have the chain cover on, water pump and the intake installed, and the valves adjusted by the weekend. Then, it's the small stuff!
