There is no mistaking the sound a Rattlesnake makes when you cross paths with one the same can be said of the high performance engine in your street vehicle when equipped with one of our new Rattler™ Cams. This strong street cam features the sound you want plus the performance you need. & Data RecordersĪfter extensive research and development Howards Cams® released a new cam line: the Rattler™ Cam. Pulleys, Front Drive System & Accessory Drive Kits.Main Caps, Main Girdles and Valley Girdles.You may want a higher stall converter, and you may have to muck with the carb to make it happy. It will have a noticeable idle, but be very driveable. I think the cam you're picking will be very fine. My truck just plain HAULED compared to his. Difference between his car and my truck: I had Howard's cam, he had milder Edelbrock cam, I had 10.9:1 compression, he had stock (8.0:1?) I had 3.07 gears at the time, he had 3.73 I had 2500 stall converter, he had stock. I had a mechanic friend comment when he drove it that "it drives really well considering what it is."Īnother friend swapped vehicles just to compare - he had a cherry 1977 Pontiac Lemans with the original Chevy 350. Which means either the low-end torque isn't that bad, or it's truly gutless everywhere. The power delivery is smooth all the way through, it's not laggy and then comes on strong with the cam. It has far more low end grunt than the Nissan Hardbody I had before. The low end seems fine, but I never drove that engine before I built it. Yeah, the second video was a different camera and doesn't sound as rumbley (but certainly choppy).
Fire it up to go home, and I'm at peace again. I call it "Potato Therapy." Just a minute of idling in the parking lot at work, and I'm ready for my day. I currently use Shell Rotella Diesel oil and a ZDDP additive. The cam survived break-in, and hasn't lost a lobe yet in over three years of daily-driving. I'm getting 10mpg, which isn't at all bad, considering what it is. The idle air passages have been hogged out significantly to try and keep the throttle plates closed enough. The Rochester has been heavily doctored via Cliff Ruggles book, and I'm running a 5inHg power piston spring. It has enough vacuum to "adequately" run power brakes. I am running 10.9:1 compression, 2500 stall converter, and 3.73 gears with a TH350. Mine is a 285 advertised duration, 470/470 108LCA 104ICL Ye Olde "Z/28 springs" would probably have worked fine. I am running a Howard's 110961-08 it would be the next size up from yours.Īlso Howard's #98212 valve springs with offset keepers and valve rotators deleted.
