Let's start over

Jason asked what he should do in regards to a cam. Given that he already has many mods to the engine, my advise would be to check out the cam companies and tell them ALL the things he already has on the car. This also means finding out what rearend gears it has.

As for the Edelbrock package, this is for someone just starting to modify an engine. Opps, let me rephrase that. The Edelbrock package is for someone just starting to modify a vehicle. The example given of the poor running Edelbrock package in the '66 pickup with a 352 probably ran poor because it still had the 3.00 gears in it. More than likely it also had a tall set of tires. I am not surprised at all that a stock 390 2bl could out run it. Until everyone realizes that you can build all the horsepower in the world, but if you stick the engine in a heavy pickup truck with a terrible set of rearend gears, the engine will be a dog.

Do not blame Edelbrock, blame the rearend gears. Or at least blame the owner who did not change the gears to something suitable that would match the needs of the engine. So why did the 390 2bl run good with 2.75 gears? Because it has gobs of low RPM torque. It was designed that way from the factory.
This thread, so far...
