Re: NHRA 283cid Stocker Engine
I have a question, regarding LSA and how Pipe Max predicts it.
This is a build that I'm doing on a 306 CI Ford. I would have thought that the LSA would have been 106 to no more than 108 but, as you can see, PM wants 111 LSA.
Could you explain why PM wants 111?

Would this be for a nhra stocker type engine if not maybe it spec’ed you non stocker type profile camshaft.

... depends on Valvetrain Deflection input values as well .
i really need you to Post an actual ScreenShot of your inputs
... maybe you changed a Choice or Input Value that i cannot see in your Pics , because your Monitor might not refreshed the screen ?? just guessing
so please post screenshot
Also PipeMax did pretty good calculating all rest of Cam Specs
however, you must input actual Dyno Day Weather conditions + both Intake + Exhaust Port FPS and CenterLine Lengths
to get better correlations .
Re: NHRA 283cid Stocker Engine
For level 9, PM recommends a LSA of 111.531. Level 9, closely matches the cam timing (other than LSA) that most closely matches the cam that I want to use.

Larry not to side track this thread but could Pipe Max be used to model a flat head.

Re: NHRA 283cid Stocker Engine
hi frnkeore ,
the recommended LSA = 111.531
is coming from mostly this Choice :
[ Wedge • Modern Chamber • Hi-Raised Ports ]
Choose : Combustion Chamber Style and Port design
that Choice assumes these Hi-Raised Ports would also have near maximum Valve diameters for the Bore diameter
so the calculated 111.531 LSA is to help stop possible Overscavenging due to Mixture able to go right out the exhaust Port
without never being trapped into the Cylinder !
i need to change this in PipeMax v5.00 to make "very sure" there are really larger valves in that [ Hi-Ports ] choice
your 2.020/1.600 combo .. the 2.020" is a relatively small diameter Intake Valve that would be in a typical Hi-Raised Port design + modern chamber style
If i choose [ Wedge • Small Closed Chamber • Low Ports ]
and input 0.0 value for ValveTrain Deflection
i get LSA = 106.996 Level=10
if i input 0.026" ValveTrain Deflection , i get LSA = 107.971
still PipeMax was very close to your Cam specs !
... you would really need to Dyno test to determine what Cam specs/settings would make highest TQ and HP in your desired RPM Range ?

Re: NHRA 283cid Stocker Engine
jed ,
Choose : Combustion Chamber Style and Port design
[ L-Head or Flat-Head • Briggs-Stratton • Hi-Perf ]
for L-Head simulations ... checkout these 2 PipeMax .PMW included files :
Briggs_and_Stratton_Animal_Engine_Research_12.4103cid_4750RPM_9.34HP_Methanol.PMW
and
Briggs_Stratton_RAPTOR_12.5636CID_4500RPM_6.0HP_3200RPM_7.7TQ.PMW
also look at all the text + data in the NotePad screen inside of PipeMax ... there's a ton of info included
Re: NHRA 283cid Stocker Engine
Larry,
Thank you for explaining that for me. I'm looking forward to upgrading to 5.0 and learning more about this 4.5 as I use it more.
Can you tell us how the program generates the cam profiles?

Re: NHRA 283cid Stocker Engine
I am getting acquainted with 4.50 and testing some stuff.
I have a DOHC overhead engine with buckets so i use 1 for rocker ratio.
But the calculated cam specs still come out as roller cam with less lift and duration.

Erland
if i'm understanding your question correctly ?
what you are seeing is since its a DOHC , this choice is controlling recommended Cam Specs
[ Choose : Number of Intake Valves and Intake Ports per Cylinder ] ... same for Exhaust Number of Valves choice
DOHC :
2 Valves • 2 Ports
or
2 Valves • 1 Siamesed Port
just 1 Cam in Block ...and 1 Intake and 1 Exhaust Valve per Cylinder ... gives you different Cam Specs recommendations

It is an 8 valve DOHC. 2365cc 6700 rpm.
Needs at least ,575" of intake lift.

Re: NHRA 283cid Stocker Engine
Seems like I found the fault, I suddenly had 3 intake valves per cylinder.
Thank you!

Re: NHRA 283cid Stocker Engine
Next problem.
Recommended duration is 20 degrees lower than real duration in my engine.
What factors alter the duration?
And the lobe separation is a bit more than I ever have used.
