Re: i disagree!

The 427 engine can be a very streetable engine without detuning it and if you run a 10.5 or 11 to1 compression ratio you can usually get by on premium pump gas. I've been doing it for years and running 38 degrees total advance. When I took my Cyclone out on cruise nights I would put 2 or 3 gallons of racing gas in it just for the aroma, Cam 2 does smell nice. I would not try to run more than 11 to 1 compression unless I were racing the car. The problem with most people that build 427 Fords is the go way beyond the factory specs when selecting a cam, usually because someone told them that the "XXX Racer Full Whammy" cam is the way to go. The truth is Ford spent many millions developing the 427 and the best cam is a Ford cam for street and some racing. The 306 duration cam (lumpy idle) that Ford put in the low riser engine is a really good place to start and the 324 duration (lumpier idle) is the next step up. For the street I would stay with the 306 and if a 447 incher is being built I might go with the 324 cam. Ford did make a .600 lift cam with 330 duration but, that brings a whole new set of problems to correct and adjust to. Stay with what's proven and you will have more fun and far fewer headaches.
