    As far as the 'right' gearing, if you're going to be serious with 1/4 stuff, best to get your trap RPM where it'll be at peak HP with whatever gearing accomplishes that.

    But then I'm not a drag racer per se, nor do I really consider myself a 'keyboard racer'. I'm just another guy with another opinion and some thinking skillz (we all are). This is why I always loved the idea of combining our heads to come up with things, which has happened (more or less) in the past. People may not admit it or even realize it, but we all affect and influence each other.

    It shows in the posts I've seen, and makes me happy. :)

    Here is my 212 cam card. 1519776121312538893942.jpg

    That one shows .305/.306 I/E lobe lift (.488/1.6 and .490/1.6). The rest of the specs seem to correspond with the 212 cam card I have.

    With the more realistic stamped rockers many would be using (which are closer to 1.5:1 than 1.55:1), intake and exhaust lifts would look more like .458/.459 on the valves.

    This of course makes the TA 212-350 cam even more ramp profile intense with an increased lift over the older version, using the same duration numbers.
