Everything is a compromise, you've just got to work out what can be acheived and then work out which setup is the best for your personal application. Yes

Above comment is spot on, thats how it would be in my mind.

I would assume that its far easier to protect and build an engine from torque than revs.

Absolutely - that's why the Centrifugal S/C conversions are so (in comparison...) reliable - they're a pretty darned good compromise.

Yes Ashok's blue one. Its a beast of a thing and very standard-looking.

So the valve has to move further, quicker matty?


Yea i was thinking that a hydraulic lifter having to move furthar at a higher rpm in a N/A engine is going to struggle more / cause more problems than one which doesnt have to travel so far at the same RPM due to a less agressive camshaft profile? I am sure someone who knows far more than me would be able to say!

A cam with less lift is not going to work the lifters as hard as one with a high lift. Wink

Isn't it the ramp angle of the camshaft lobe that has a greater effect on the lifters, rather than the total amount of lift?

Both really. Yes

The ramp angle is part of it but remember that on a high lift cam when the valve is fully open, the lifter is taking more load than normal as there is more pressure on the lifter.
The easier life you can give these components the better and the longer they will last.

What experience do you have that forms the basis of your comment?


Direct from talking to an engine builder, he has a few championships to his name and works with a few experienced race engine builders, so I'd trust their word Thumbs up


Rich asked what experience "you" had not other people you've talked to. No


So in that context, what has Rich done with long stroke N-a engines??

I was passing direct info from an engine builder, not "rumours".

next we'll be hearing how Rich was right and Sodemo was wrong all along, they didn't need to put steel cranks in all those maxi and WRC engines, nor did they have to stick very long very expensive manifolds on them or solid tappets to get to 9k.

after all standard stuff will do the job just fine?

he's starting to sound like that B11BOB fella Laugh my ass off

I share Rich's view on this due to experience being priceless unlike other peoples opinions.Which are just that

End of the day - Torque damages things and RPMs damage things... Take your pick of which you damage - make more of one or the other and you'll end up with more horsepower.

But long before either you need to worry about fatigue. Unless you intend on stripping, inspecting and rebuilding once a year LOL
