Question

what cam should I use?

I want to get the most hp I can and still maintain 10lbs of vacuum. I will have a compresion ratio of about 10 to 1. What is the max duration cam I can go with and still hold that vacuum at 800 rpms. Tom

Welcome to FTE!
Please read the *read first* threads on the top of this forum.

A camshaft is an engine part and therefore, any questions about them should be asked in the ENGINE it applies to forum.
