With 100+ HP, I wonder if the car would even run below 3500-4000 RPM.
I wouldn't want to sit around in traffic with it . . .
Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, David used the VP276 cam, thats a cam I use alot, it's in both Ray and Drew's motor. That cam might take a little more idel say 1100-1200 but iot will idle fine at redlights and stop signs. You can get get 90-95 for a .040" over engine, theonly difference in thios motor is the bore size, the 100ish od CCs will net say 5-10 HP. 1380 are fine as long as the owner knows what they are getting into, there could be block issues, rare, but you still have to realize the possiblity and they, 1380s, tend to run a tick warmer than smaller bores, nad you have to run a sopeciual head gasket, which isn't available in the better composite material. Compression ratio is anmother considerration, knowing david as well i do, you can bet this motor is probably around 10 to 1, that that where I build most of mine too, the CR is the #1 HP maker in these engine, kroe than anything else.
