    I think everyone that wanted to enter had to send a cam and $100 entry fee. The people that donated to the test get all the cam and dyno data and more even if it was just $20. The winner got $5000 prize for winning. Anyone late tothe game will have to donate $40 to get all of that data.

    I really loved this test. Eric Weingartner's efforts are greatly appreciated. I thought he did a good job of making it fair and it was really great that it was unbiased. As for the results, the person that won is no surprise to me. Day in and day out Bobby Biancaniello specs cams and sees results from countless racers, engine builders and enthusiasts. Bobby's cams are in everything from record holding class racing cars to daily drivers. He was a great student and now he is a great expert. Great job Bobby! As for people being surprised by the results, I get it! Every once in a while some dyno work surprises me too. The thing that makes it tough for many is that no one spec was the magic bullet. There was so much to consider: Durations, Lift, Lobe Centers, Lobe Designs etc. Not only does each spec have an effect, but the relationship between each spec has a synergistic effect also. The only thing I can offer to people that study this test is that the person who won has seen a lot of data and has participated in testing with me personally. It was no mistake that Bobby won and he won by quite a bit.

    Eric made a video long ago when he started his channel attempting to reach out to you or get your attention on a collaborative project testing some intakes. He also streamed this dyno session live which should be the way these tests are done today. Those people whom contributed to the event got early access to the cam cards and full results. Most of the data hasn’t been released publicly and an overview video hasn’t yet been made. If you watched the streams you where enlightened to the performance of the cams but not the cam cards (unless you contributed to the event).

    I guess with the LS head flow and valve configuration they need less cam timing events Vs the 23 degree SBC which needs more cam timing events to make up for less head flow cfm and design. Just like hemi heads like a whole different cam timing event .

    Nk performance won with something like 20+ extra duration on exhaust why did this work so well?

    • @jtrill2
      @jtrill2 День тому +1

      Because the heads were able to support higher rpm,power and flow you can keep the exhaust closed longer, extract more power and still have the flow capabilities to exhaust the exhaust efficiently.
      However this is for this rpm range 4-7k and knowing whats still on the table. If this engine were to go up to 8k or more the duration may need to be adjusted.

    • @jmflournoy386
      @jmflournoy386 День тому +1

      because of the 110 fuel, they could run an early intake close to max the dynamic compression then a big exhaust to hold the power after Peak. No EPA or power brake requirement so they could run lots of overlap and not care about intake flow out the exhaust (which sucks mileage but who cares and makes ex heat but so what here)

    • @zacharymorris9917

      This engine combination would normally run 5600-7600ish. Dynoing 4000-7000 made it mandatory to alter the camshaft dramatically in order to win within the parameters. I ran it both ways and the proper camshaft with the proper shift points picked up something like 20+ peak, 40+ average and 70 at the shift point. It's been well over a month since I looked at this so I don't remember exactly.

    DV does not have a LS database (yet he is working on BBC) he used his SBF I am surprised he did as well as he did and he has guts entering with one hand tied behind his back (garbage in garbage out rule) I am not a fan of LCA cam picking but give DV credit for showing up. There are worse ways to choose a cam- like calling the "help" line
    IMHO CR was too big for pump gas and too small for E85
    You can't tell what overlap or seat timing really is from .050. Compression does not start till the valve is closed
    Baseline was a Texas Speed, it repeated at end of competition
    The manifold and carb were what had worked best with the baseline cam. Jetting was fixed from the Texas speed
    Later a ported Victor did better (but so what) (I've never worked with either, he later also tested a dual plane)
    Timing and tune was set with the Texas Speed, as was pushrod length with stock base circle- Eric had three lengths of pushrods but it is unclear if any competitors requested a pushrod change
    Timing was dot to dot so competitors had to grind their timing in. Some indicated that their preferred timing would not fit on the core quickly available (affected LCA slightly, and advance slightly)
    Lifters were the Cadillac versions only one cam MIGHT have had some valve float at the very top end.
    No cam went over lift. The wining cam was cam doctored to check that lift was within rules
    all cams were dual pattern (AFIK) Valves were heavy
    Winner was not a max effort design according to winners Video which is worth watching
