WebMay 25, 2012 · I'we been scratching my head for Awile now. The thing is that i have this sbc engine. Good but stock bottom end, 4 bolt mains and everything fresh 9:1 compression. … WebNov 3, 2013 · Example: My Comp camshaft has 39* valve overlap with a intake closing event of 58* ABDC. The static compression ratio is 10.2: and the dynamic compression ratio is 8.5:1. NA dynamic compression ratio of 8.5:1 is the limit for 93 octane pump gas. How is your valve overlap calculated?

WebNov 30, 2024 · The cams will have different cranking compressions, different power curves. This is not to say one is better than the other, only different. What effects the REAL dynamic compression is HOW MUCH air and gas is in the cylinder when the intake valve closes, not at what degree ABDC the valve closes. carina johnsen

Overlap occurs between the exhaust and intake strokes.there is no compression being built at that point. As stated earlier, the intake valve closing point effects the point at which compression begins to build. WebFeb 18, 2008 · Cam is .232 @ .050. I think your compression is very good especially since the readings are so close cylinder to cylinder. A 383 builds compression a lot easier than a 350, it would be tough to get 175ish psi in a 350 flattop motor with 76cc heads and a [email protected] cam. I would bet that 350 has a smogger cam and flattop pistons. WebApr 17, 2024 · Big cams with more duration and overlap allow octane-limited engines to run higher compression without detonating in the low to mid-range. Conversely, running too big a cam, with too low a compression ratio leads to a sluggish response below 3,000 RPM.
