Jerry and Matthew Sweet added an 800ci Pro Stock mountain motor to chase HOT ROD Drag Week’s Pro Street NA Record.
Merely uttering the phrase Pro Street conjures up thoughts of the flamboyant show cars of the ’80s, but the look actually goes back to the 1970s, when hot-rodders began adopting NHRA Pro Stock suspension modifications to their street cars to fit larger rear tires, hence the name Pro Street.
One of the major concerns for this type of engine combination is valvetrain longevity. Robbins worked with an unnamed camshaft manufacturer to get the ramp rates and other specs in line with what they thought would work well for 1,000 miles of street abuse while still making power. He did admit the camshaft profile was dramatically different from the Mountain Motor version; max valve lift dropped from around 1.500 inches to “just” 1.00 inch, making it—roughly—a three-quarter race cam.
