OK...I'll be your Huckelberry.
Yes, I picked your advice apart, and here's why:
"Sounds like a good place to Start, 110 lobe centers in a BBC is good, the lift and Duration is close"
110 is good for what? and lift and duration...close to what, for what, in what?
Valve spring pressures are important...you're a wizard...
"that same combo in a 3800lb Chevelle ran a 9.70 no Nitrous in a friends 502 with a 4:56 gear"
...again, just because it works in a car has nothing to do with it working in a boat. Two different power requirements.
"thats not going to be a low RPM cam"...
well he already stated he wanted to lower the rpm range, so what's the point here?
...and what do you mean by "jet boats need rpm"?
Yes I challanged your first post...it was pointless.
Then:
"lets boil this down some, if the OP wants something, he needs to specify what it is he wants, define "High RPM"....we talking 6000 max?. 5500?....it all makes a BIG difference if he wants a Lake boat thats reliable and a daily driver, no that cams prolly NOT what he wants, but inorder to HELP the guy.,....he needs to give more info.."
So really, you don't even know what you're talking about. The OP gave plenty of useful info in his first two posts, which you clearly didn't read...yet you were giving advice, and now you're back pedaling...first the cam is "good place to start" then it's "prolly not what he wants..." so which is it?
Then this jewell:
"the above question doesnt specify RPM and a 4150 Carb isnt something you want to run on a lower rpm engine, if you want this to run from say 2500-6500 RPM, then bench the 4150 and stay with an 850 double pumper, which would be much better suited, drop the cam down to something much more reasonable, but what kind of fuel you think this things going to run on and Not Murder it'self ?...it sure as HELL aint going to run on 93 octane pump gas, you have to make a complete combination in order for it to give decent results, the choice is yours"
The rpm was clearly specified.
You still haven't answered the question about the 4150 vs. the 850 dp. and you're dropping that cam (again) that you said was a good place to start...
You're just all over the place.
Then, because you're all over the place and giving poor advice and getting called on it, you get all butt hurt and start pouting and get all arrogant:
"It's clear you fellows arent interested in My input, and I am not nor do I have time to read every single post by an individual to determine what he wants,
I do have a few parting questions, if he doesnt want a Hot rod Boat and Motor combo, why in the Hell is he running 12:1 compression ?,
If he wants "lower Rpm" power, whats he doing with such Big heads on the engine ?
and WHY in GODS name would you run a Tunnel Ram on a lower RPM set up?.....
What I see here is someone who has been "tuned up" by so many others, he doesnt have anything resembling any logic involved in the end result that going to give him anything but headaches ,IMHO
Now I will just sit back and watch...... "
As I said, if you're not going to take the time (and give the respect) to read the OP's info, then you have no business giving advice. This whole npost is just nonsense...especially the part about the tunnel ram, and where- in the beginning, he had a good place to start- now it has nothing resembling logic, and he's only looking at headaches. You've been
so much help up till now, but suddenly, just s-hit can the whole thing 'cause it's nonsense...according to you.
And you sit back, looking down upon us all...
Then you get personal...
"Steelcomp, here's a clue, 12:1 isnt a Pump gas combo, 310 heads arent a lake boat head, and YOU are no freaking Genius,"
No one said anything about pump gas including the OP. Lots of guys mix pump and av gas or pump and race gas with their weekenders. Is it 100% practical? Not to me, but that wasn't part of the question, was it.
310 heads are considered relatively small on a 500" enigne, nd to say they're not proves you don't know what you're talking about. What makes a head a "lake boat" head, anyway? Care to elaborate on that one?
Thanks for pointing out I'm not a genius. Neither are you.
"then you go on to say the combo he has now would work.....isnt that what I said in my first reply?:
I went on to say it would probably work in a response to your stupid comment on having "nothing resembling logic", but also that it didn't sound like what he was lookiong for, and no, that's not what you said in your first reply.
"...before you start kickin people in the shins Genius, make sure you know who it is you're talking to, and NONE of my posts till now have been Directed to you, but since you seem to have some Invisible Bone to pick with me, I've forgotten more shit than you know....Hotrod"
All I can say to this is the same to you. You don't know me or who I am or where I've been and done. All of my comments in response to you were based on what you said, not at you personally. Don't blame me for your stupid answers or poor advice.
"I made it clear up front this is ALL about "Combinations", if you arent willing to knock the compression down and back the motor down everywhere then whats the point, ?, the ONLY unreliable issue he is facing in the Combo he states is keeping Good Springs on the Engine, the 70 Chevelle I used as an Example had a slightly bigger Cam and was a "DAILY" driver.......you need to Snap out of it Buckwheat and get over yourself.
enjoy life in my Iggy"
Again with the Chevelle...bragging about something that's completely irrelevant. Very impressive. I'm full of MY self???
What's your Iggy?
And finally I love this one:
"and ANYTIME you want to compare Notes on who's done what and where...let me know."
Just classic. Are you really all that, 'cause with what I've seen above, you sound like someone bringin a stick to a gunfight.
Nice way to introduce yourself to the group mr crewchief. There's a couple others here that you'll fit right in with.
