Do full race flatties idle that smooth? Ive never heard one as of yet but ive heard of every other engine thats been pushed to tha max cam wise.Dont mean to insinuate anything but it is an awfully smooth idleing V8 for a full racer.

The Isky 88 cam is a mild full race, stock lift, but more duration, so has a mild lope, but comes on strong in mid range. A good street cam. The Isky 400jr is a full race cam with a lot more lope, more lift & duration, called a race only cam, but many are used on the street. There are many different grinds, but these are two of my favorites.

You can't beat the sound of a good old worked up flathead!!!

@mastersduhgree He has the engine idling a bit fast to hear the lope of the cam clearly...if he dropped the idle to @600rpm you would hear it better.

I love the way it sounds, and I love how it starts right up.
