OK....

Got the basic Cam specs (thanks Brian) but I need a lot more information:

(1) Cam Specs: (Timing specs - Intake/Exhaust Open/Close @Valve and @.050")
(2) Cam Specs: Lift @ Tappet
(3) Cam Specs: Duration @.050"
(4) Cam Specs: (Don't think it's advanced or retarded from the factory)
Degrees Installed??
(5) Valve Spring Rates (Seated and Open)
(6) Stock Rocker Arm Ratio (1.6:1 I think)
(7) Number of Piston Rings
(8) Connecting Rod Length
(9) Piston Skirt Length
(10) Valve Sizes (Intake and Exhaust)
(11) Combustion Chamber Size (cc's)
(12) TBI CFM Rating (Stock and Stage-II)
(13) Average Intake Runner Length/Width
(14) Injector Flow Rating (Stock)

I'm building a hypothetical Magnum V6 (I can also do a V8 if I have the
specs) and then modifying it to see what happens. (Intake Flow, Cam Specs,
Exhaust Flow, Timing, Rocker Arms, etc...)

I'll have printouts posted but I need these specs before I can do anything.
(Dodge hasn't been much help at all..they act as if the motor is some sort
of top-secret development.)

Thanks,
