Charles,
Thanks for the great cam and kit. With your 240/240 .410 lift lobes on a
110 center we made 365 rwhp in our 331" Nova with a 2-bbl carb, about 40 hp up
from the Comp cam we ran last year. The torque peak was at 4500 rpm and the
power peak was at 6500 rpm, well suited for the long uphill road sections we
use. I had no problems at all with the engine, no valve lashing was necessary
and we used one set of plugs for the entire race. We finished 2nd in our class
behind a Corvette, and eighth overall in a field of 70+ cars. We were
complimented frequently on how fast the little Nova ran, finishing well ahead of
several 366" 4-bbl cars. If only we could corner with the Vettes....
Here's a pic of the car at speed in Mexico:
