Max Cam Durtion?
Hello all,
Yes, I am retarded.
rebuilding the 400 a second time. First was only practice. This time Using DSS pistons. ( anyone want my Tmyers PM me)
anway,
Ford ;
comp cam 282S (236 @.050) it is smoot like stock, runs out ~5000 max.
Trick flow 195
dual plane
195 cranking comp
In my 406 sbc;
294S (250 @ .050) and it is radical and spins to 6800 faster than i can shift.
airgap
AFR 195
210 cranking comp
I don't want to make the ford undrivable jumping 15 degrees but i would swear the 282 behaves more like stock. Is anyone running a longer duration? This is my only ford, both ~400 CU, does the fords firing order just behave different?

Chris989,
Hopefully the new combo is what you're after. I don't know that it's ever going to rev as fast as the 400 Chevy because of the 1/4" longer stroke. Pretty sure you're looking at a solid 450+HP build there, but probably not much above 5,000 either.

I've used the TFS 195 runner on a 408 Cleveland with a hydraulic roller cam that has 218 @ .050 and it made 525 horsepower at about 6000rpm using a Performer RPM Air Gap intake and a 650 Holley. This was for a Pantera applications and running through Pantera exhausts. I can never remember but I think that for a given amount of CC's the intake port mean cross section is smaller on a Ford head vs one for a small block Chevrolet.
A solid lifter cam will behave somewhat smaller than a hydraulic cam will with the same amount of duration but both of your cams are much larger than what I used.
