How big can you go?

How radical can you get with the cam profile on a tfs A460 headed engine? Where do the problems start?

I rfigured on the springs. I currently run just over .800 and was looking to make a change maybe make more hp up high.Just dont know the right combo.

whats the cam now?

The cam is 277I 298E @ 50,814I /780E lift,set at 112 deg with 112 lobe sep.

What do the heads flow, and where? Think big.

more @.050 on the intake to start.

The heads flowed 408 @ .8,419 @ .850. I have the heads off now and am hoping to improve them.My man has sf600 bench and know how but is not familar with the head.

I would have lift in excess of .850 then for sure.

I'd get the heads ported by someone who knows A460 heads, the newer TFS stuff will approach or exceed the 500 mark in the right hands. Thats alot more power than just giving it some more lift.

Would you be interested in a good CNC job?

I might later but I would like to make gains here at home and kinda learn a little doing so.When I fork the dough out for some cnc ones Im just going to get a new set. Probably sounds a little silly because I know the quickest easiest way to go would be to sent them out for cnc.

Nothin wrong with that.
