Solid Cam Ideas

[20MS]

Rule states.....Solid Cam with maximum .470" valve lift. Cast head with no port work allowed and head is 55cc with 10:1 compression engine. I run ford 2300 on a fast low banked 3/8 mile asphalt track turning max around 7500 rpm. Looking for competitive cam or at least maybe some good specs I should be looking for on a cam to fit my needs. Thanks in advance!

You'd be doing good to go with the Esslinger 2270 cam. It's 258@ .050" and comes in at .468" lift on a 107LSA. Over the years, that cam has won more races in Mini-Stock than any other cam...

On a side note, is there a reason you're only using a 55cc chamber? Are you not allowed to get the head down to 39-42cc? The compression increase, as well as installing the cam around 4-6deg. advanced would really perk that thing up on re-starts...

Yeah unfortunately the rules force us to run the 55cc chamber and compression can not exceed 10:1. These are 2 areas they actually check on a regular basis in tech. Thank you for the cam information, I will definitely be looking into it

How are they checking it? Height of head? IF SO, have someone weld up the chambers.

[20MS]

No when they do it they actually take the time to use liquid to check the exact volume

[20MS]

They will actually make us pull the head to check chambers

do you have to run a solid cam? with that lift and rpm a hyd. head would work and be cheaper to build and less maintenance.
