the balancer is stock standard balancer & rubbers of an FC grafted onto a aftermarket pulley designed to accept a blower drive pulley. cam specs. are inlet opens 28.86 BTDC & exhaust closes 30.72 ATDC. It has a cam overlap of 59.58 degrees. This is the recommended cam for my boost by SURECAMS who ground the camshaft.The pulleys are 6K polyrib the ratio 1-18 :1 which is 18%overdrive. There is a backfire valve below curved inlet tube with an area of 5.3 square inches. Apart from the blower drive system & the cam grind this is the same setup used in the early sixties with sucess. regards jim
