MP Solid FT cams and their lash specs

[Kern Dog]

You can see that the car isn't really set up for straight line racing !

I grew up during the 70s when new cars were getting slower but handling better....That stuck with me.

nice KD
are those Urethane busings on the ends of the sway bar links
Cordoba REar sway works if you do not have one

I have a 3/4" rear bar from an '83 Imperial. It appears to be identical to a Diplomat/Gran Fury bar.

Tighter lash gives an engine more bottom end or torque, while greater lash creates more top end or horsepower, which is typically made in the higher rpm range. However, lashing a valve too tightly can hang open a valve while excessive lash will decrease duration of lift—in essence, making a cam smaller.Feb 28, 2012

Hunh? Thats wrong. And if you look at the comments under the original article, it was posted as being wrong in 2012. Tighter lash makes the cam bigger, less torque low end ,more horsepower top end. It might not be noticeable or significant, but lash does have an effect.

great answer
discussion can continue
but back at the 62 AHRA Nationals in Cado Mills Texas we had a real greasy track and tightened the lash (and removed the injector stacks) to kill the low end.
Cam seat to seat at .001 was 400 degrees
