You will note the CR increased to 9.2 and the RDP cam - without increase in power?

Just say I own a few Mopars

That's just the ordinary 244°-244°-26°-0.4" camshaft used in North America from '71-'80 and on export 2bbl slants from '67 on. Chrysler Australia for some strange reason never released output figures for the VF Pacer version of the 225. I'm pretty sure they did use the same cam as listed in your rundown (where'd it come from?), but I could dig in the applicable FPC and see if different cams are specified. What cam was used in the RSA ChargerPower engine?

From that first spec sheet, "high lift cam" doesn't mean anything 'cause it's not quantified, and lookit that familiar torque figure of 215 lb·ft...

Have a cam spec here a came across in a manual - 258/248 .414 lift - intake centerline 109 deg ex 106 - for the 160BHP engine - Dyno sim with this cam and the carb 318 BBD and compression 9.2 - 163BHP on the dot as well as a torque figure of 232lbft - first time for everything

this same sim pitch a stock slant at 125bhp and 205lbft some what down on the advertised figures

Interesting! Sounds like a mismatch somewhere in print...the 160bhp figure seems about right for the 244° cam with the emissions-uncontrolled 2bbl carb setup. So the 258/248 is probably what was used in the ChargerPower 190 engine (and maybe something similar in the Australian Pacer engine?)
