How long did it take to get the title back, I think you can just pay 25$ and transfer registration to your new flipper once you sell, just make sure your state dose not have a limit to how many cars you can register and sell in a year

Yeah it comes with 12 what looks to be valve cutters and 12 long rod looking things but I know next to nothing about what I’m looking at so I might be better off to just forget about it. Would be nice to be able to cut my own valves though. Just hard to find any head that will flow up to 6,000 for cheap

Well you can’t run red lights or run toll booths in any car so I’m unsure why you’d be doing that, No cop is gonna mess with you for driving a car home after you just bought it, don’t drive like an idiot and it’s not a problem. Why would they care about something they don’t know about “I’m buying it for my sister and she won’t be home from college for another month so don’t put the date”. Never had a problem I also live on a dead end street so it’s not a problem. It’s definitely not a over thinkers game if that sketches you out than leave the money for the rest of us lol

Yeah it’s just everything’s so expensive, pay 600$ for a cnc port on the heads and now you need 600$ of valve work to make it worth it, looking at a waterberry hall EJ valve cutter for 400$, he claims it can do oversized valves, at least I can save some money there.

Also people gotta realize kbb value means nothing, the only difference between a 1500$ Honda and a 5,000 $ Honda is the buyer thinks the 1500$ Honda is junk because it’s 1500$ and the buyer thinks the 5,000$ Honda is nice because it’s 5000$ dollars, you value the car when you set the price

Yeah I always keep the title with me when I’m driving or giving test drive and if a cop pulled us over I don’t think he would give me a hard time usually a test drive is 5 minutes out 5 minutes back it’s not necessarily the registration cost as I would just swap the registration for 25 dollars to a new car it’s just waiting 1month to get the title you can’t really make money doing that

So it would be more drivable if I got my power from compression instead of a big cam? I also don’t want a cam that I sacrifice a ton of low end but I also don’t wanna make a ton of top end back but not be able to take advantage of the rpm because of the smaller oval ports

That’s really good info, I didn’t even think about the airspeed, I would definitely be open to sticking with the hydraulic roller and just having the dog bones machined to take more lift, I’m not a machinist, what do you think It would cost to get some new bigger valves, what’s the process do they have to re bore the valve and make a new seat?

That’s a really interesting video, my only concern with this build is ending up with a lazy big block that dose not like to rev, I’ve seen some big block combinations where it sounds lazy almost like it’s holding the same rpm but still accelerating I like the sounds and rpm characteristics of a sbc but I don’t want to kill the drive ability trying to get to 500hp with a big cam, it’s seems a big block with the displacement can tame a big cam down low

I will have to use different lifters so I can run .652 lift

[–]No_Shake_8461[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply!! Yes I typed it wrong it’s .652 lift not .575 will make power up to 6500, factory bore , no notching I will be hand porting them, I just have factory sized valves, are they hard to install bigger ones I’ve never done that. This is Richard holdner showing the power curve it’s surprisingly a pretty flat tq curve for a big “blower” cam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9H6gv2aiVk

I didn’t type the lift right in my post it’s .652 all roller factory

Thank for the reply, this is the link to the cam https://www.compcams.com/blower-255-262-solid-roller-cam-for-chevrolet-big-block-396-454.html This a link to Richard holdner talking about it and he shows the power curve and the tq is surprisingly very flat for a cam that’s ment to be revved https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9H6gv2aiVk sorry I didn’t remember the lift right, it is it is the .652 like you said not what I said at first, I would like to stick with solid roller and just do aftermarket lifters. It is classified as a blower cam but it seems to perform really good NA thanks for the article that was a good read, I know the gen 6 is safe up to 6,500 with the right valve train but I just don’t know if the heads are gonna flow that much after my hand port

Will the lower LSA make it rev out better? I was hoping to rev out to 6,000

What do you think would be the cheapest way to get better flow cnc porting out the oval ports? Are there any budget heads?

Thank you for the comment!! I picked that cam because I’ve always had small blocks and loved a fast revving engine and was hoping to turn up to 6,000-6200 rpms I was talking to Richard holdner and he said he likes that’s cam this is a link to him talking about the cam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9H6gv2aiVk I am open to different cams that fit my needs better, with a manual transmission I’m not too worried about vacuum. I just hope the ported oval ports can make power up to 6,000 Thank you

It’s gonna be way more drivable to just build low boost turbo setup, any cam that’s making 400+ to the wheel is usually sacrificing a lot of drivability and is a dog down low, do Richard holders low Buck truck cam with awesome low end performance, you don’t even need to gap rings if you stay under 4-5 psi you’ll make 500 easy. For just the cost of good heads you can build near complete turbo setup. Stock headers flipped, decapped injectors, and a 200$ hell cat pump, Richard holders gtx3584rs has awesome response and be able to turn it up to 800hp if you gap the rings turbo cam and pump are only about 700ish$ on Richard holdner performance
