Thanks in advance fellas. Give me a critique if you can!


Ok, So I'm down to ordering my cam which I've chosen the Comp 68-231-4 and with my settings that gives me a 9.31 SCR and 8.15 DCR. I'm thinking this should let me run on pump gas?

In the calculator it lists the cam timing as advanced 4 degrees. What's the best way to set this, with offset keys or with a multiple keyway sprocket or does it matter? Also the Comp cam data lists the Intake opening as 4 degrees advanced is the 4 degree advance that's in the calculator built into the cam or are we advancing the cam timing 8 degrees?

From the board I've gleaned that I need to come up with a set of Mopar valve springs and I was wondering where the best place to get them is?

Thanks
Dean

I believe the advance is built in the cam so you'll still line up the two dots, but someone else with the same cam should chime in. Last I read, you can get the springs at advanced auto for $7, or have summit or jegs price match.

Yes, the advanced is built into the cam. If you want you can degree it in, which I did. However it wasn't off for the need to advance or retard it. I just lined up the dots.
