I think this is quite amusing. The "motor" of the future is not dependent
upon cams, cranks, timing, lift.... or for that matter, internal combustion.
Electric motors already are capable of turning more horsepower (accurately at
that) more controllably than any IC engine of comparable weight. I've read
about 50lb motors turning over 150hp. Imagine 4 of those coupled to each
wheel of your Dak and a small 800cc engine turning a generator to power them.
Chrysler already had a diesel/electric Intrepid at the Anaheim Auto Show, and
I was dissappointed to hear that they have "NO PLANS" to actually make such a
car, even though it got 70mpg and was just as powerful as the current
Intrepid: to which I say "Why not you idiots!???" I get so pissed when the
car mfg's whine and moan about the CAFE <sp?> standards they have to follow
and when they find a solution they don't want to do it.

Whit,
Maybe the OBDII misfire sensors are the main problem... Dont send a Kid to
do a Cams work. The 380 HP crate's cam is 288-292 duration, .501/.513
lift. Might work since in '95, no misfire sensors!! A few other grinds are
out there from Comp cams etc. that are more agressive than the factory HP
cam. Also GM is pushing 10.8:1 compression ratios and getting 300+HP.
The 380HP crate says 9.0:1. Not bad since the heads are iron and
detonation is a reality with 10.8:1+ iron heads. maybe a 360 magnum
aluminum head is in the works!!! with matching 10.+:1 pistons!! and and
and.... I gotta go take a walk...
