Here is one of those situations again, when its a street car, where, a guy is worried about loosing "low end tq". Not bashing anyone here, just trying to put a different perspective on that whole magazine phrase. I would agree, its a lot easier making power with more cubic inches for sure, but this is a case where its going to be rediculously over kill, which, some guys like, lol.
That cam is way to small for a 582. It will make all the tq low in the rpm band, where, that car will NEVER hook it. In fact, it will be down right dangerous. I have customers with more 100 less cubic inches, that have put similiar cars, in the ditch, and almost wrecked the car, or died, because the car got completelty out of control. One guy, called me and told me he switched tires, because he was killing his Hoosier quick time pros, before he even made it to the track, so he put his old BFG Radial T/A's on it, to save his good tires. I said, be very careful. Huh he said. I said, don't do what you used to, going 50-60mph on the highway, drop it into second, from drive, and hammer it. Why? You will end up in the ditch. He didn;t listen. Called me a few days later, and told me you were right. Going 50, dropped it into second, hammered it, and ended up in the ditch on the other side of the road, faster than he could react. Car lit the tires, got out of shape, he paniced, lost control, and put it in the ditch. Did about $2000 worth of body work damage, and lucky he didn;t get killed.
That was only 461 cubes, that made 600hp, and 575 tq. Thats 1 story, there are others. With 582 inches, and monster tq, my guess, would be somewhere over 750+ ft/lbs at fairly low rpm, 4500, somewhere in there, with the above combo, in that chassis, it will be hairy. If that sounds fun, than do it, but, just be careful is all I am saying.
If you think about it, trying to kill low end power in a true street car, with limited tires, and chassis, is a good idea. Purposely do things to reduce tq, and shift peak power up top. This thing will make a ton of power regardless, and still be a tire frier supreme. Thats just my advice from expierience.
