- WHICH SBC CAM WOULD YOU CHOOSE, ONE THAT MAKES 382 LB-FT AT 3700 RPM OR ONE THAT MAKES 382 LB-FT AT 4300 RPM? THE CAM YOU CHOOSE DETERMINES THE PERSONALITY AND USEFULLNESS OF THE MOTOR. CHOOSE WISELY. LET'S TALK TECH make sure to visit richardholdenerperformance.com for sales on ls performance.
I watch every single video and every single live at least once but usually a few times. When traveling, in the shower, at home and at work, I am listening. I am not a mega commenter but I am here 💯
You get a gold star for attendance, make sure not to lose your job by listening at work-we need you to buy cams!
Thanks brother for all you do. My friend wants me to help him out with his Camaro in this off season. We will be ordering from you before March. Thank you 🙏
Great expectation of cams, and I love the idea of boosting an amc 4.0 in a jeep. Tricky with the exhaust and intake design on that.
Retired Shop Owner,Master Tech here,I rarely comment (My last was Re:Banks Marine TT @ BBC for My 22' Schiada V-Drive),but watch most every episode.
When I built the 383 sbc for My Nova,I wanted torque.
10-1 KB Hyperurectic slugs,TPI heads,a nice split pattern Sealed Power cam,Performer Int,750 Holley & the biggest PITA Hooker HPC coated Super Comp headers.
TH 350w/& B&M 2,000 Hole Shot,9"Ford Rr w/3.08 gears,its got lots a Grunt 😎
Vet and delegate brother, build a team that's in lock step with you. I'm sure you have a circle around that believes in you. Thank you for the videos, they're on point!
I'm the whole team
You personally actively responding and going through the chat during livestream is the main attraction for me and we appreciate the time you spend w/ us.
Thanks for the kind words! I enjoy the live chats!
I have enjoyed your live feeds (when possible) and as many of your videos at western. You have supplied much Info! I'm getting ready to swap an 07 6.0 lq4 with a truck Norris cam and a tune. Street and towing. Always enjoy Learning from your experiences. Thank You
Oops! Swap lq4 into 66 suburban. Street and towing
That's a good combo for the 6.0
I definitely work on too many cars to be for one or another but I will say pontiacs always look pretty slick and even when I owned my Camaro and chevelle people give me way more compliments on my gxp. I miss that 71 chevelle everyday though… it was gorgeous. It was a tubbed out prostreet car though not super street friendly . Maroon with the white stripes and black vinyl roof cover lol weird stuff they used to do of looks
lots of great cars out there
1:09:35 Fix the stock rockers, the stock LS isn't bad once they are "straighten up". 👍
Torque is more prevalent in longer stroke engines down low. Short stroke engines move the Torque further up in the rpm range. More static compression helps to produce torque too.
Check out his video 302vs ,327, vs 350. To check the curves out
Hello Brian! Keep up the good work !
You may need to create a FAQ to tell people to look at if you know the answer is in there, tell them where to look in the faq for it
Will be good idea on tuning process but probably to many set up were make a universal tuning is impossible
Im still here for your content, not your giveaway?😂
Thinking a late model challenger with a 496 bbc would be fun?
How’s the development with your truck jr. Cam??
Richard is there any truth to the RPM that an engine makes peak torque is also where it is most efficient?
define efficient
Have you played with Buick Nailheads? I kinda have a weird desire to drop a nailhead into a classic pickup of some sort.
no sir
I miss these lives everytime, im building an lm7, have a LBT cam, was thinking of a fast intake and possibly the summit cast 210 cath heads. Basicly just looking for good drivability overall but I would like to turbo eventually and do a local drag and drive event. Basicly asking for everything but what are your thoughts.
I would save the money on the intakes and heads and get the turbo set up-you don't need those with boost
I didnt think so, what do you think for potential power? I was just curious for future endeavors when i inevitably start turning things up. Just want to make sure i upgrade any internals along the way.
Also how do we comment on the lives?
The destroking is better with comes from sbc . 327 large bearing corvet vs 350 truck motor, both same parts less rotating assembly the 327 shifts tq to the right = more hp through more rpm at same piston speed. At least that was my understanding back in the 90's-2000's
a destroked motor makes less power everywhere
@richardholdener1727 old superstitions are hard to kill with channels like yours we may yet kill the beast. the argument back in the day was long stroke comes apart earlier than a short stroke. I'm about tq so give me the long stroke 383 and keep that princess 327.
Torque is trapped oxygen for one combustion, HP is trapped oxygen over a minute. Bore/stroke don't matter much on its own, really short stroke might not move the piston away quickly enough at low rpm which could impact flow, and really long stroke will limit the size of the valve size and therefore flow for high rpm.
Bottom line, unless you're in a highly competitive racing class shoveling money for every last tenth of a second it's usually nothing to lose sleep over. 👍
I think I have watched every video, but could you tell me what solid roller cam you would recommend for a 355 sbc w/ a 671 blower?
what power level and usage?
Bracket car with occasional street drive. Balanced and port work on heads. Want to be solid in the 10's up to 700 hp. Thanks Richard!

What the hell even does an h pipe do?
X and h pipes change the sound and supposedly boost torque . I like an X pipe because it lessens the glass pack sound and you can run greener flowing mufflers
It can help equalise the pressure between the two pipes, it's mostly been used on engines with uneven firing order (seen from bank to bank).
