Re: Which cam do you like (Help)
I'm looking for opinions regarding camshaft selection. The engine is a 10.1:1,383, 6"rod,MiniRam,AFR 210,Aluminum Flywheel,6spd,3.73 rear.
Cam #1
Solid Roller
.390/.404 lobe lift
244/252 @ .050
277/285 advertised duration
108 CL
112 LSA
Cam #2
Solid Roller
.392/.393 lobe lift
250/260 @ .050
286/296 advertised duration
112 CL
112 LSA
These are the two I own but I've never run either before. Which one do you guys like and why? I'll be installing one and selling the other next weekend.
Thanks
KM

Re: Which cam do you like (vader86)
Either one looks like way toooooo much cam for the street.
Those cams wouldn't like me. I like nice manners on the street.
Can you get a milder choice?

Re: Which cam do you like (VetNutJim)
just my opinion, both look like they have too much duration and too little lift. Why solid? I guess you don't mind pulling the valve covers off every now and again for adjustments?

Wow, I'm kinda surprised you think there too big :lol:
AS84
How much lift do you recomend? I don't think I can clear much more than .650 most street cams are way less than that. These two seem to push it up near .620-.640 with a 1.6 rocker. I'm going with a solid because I get into valve float before I get to my HP peak. I need to be able to shift around 7000RPM. I just haven't been able to get a HYD to work well up there. As for adjusting the lash, I geuss it comes with the turf.

Are you serious about the lift? Those are lobe lift numbers. .390X1.5 or 1.6 rocker ratio= 585/620. Are you lifting 700ish :eek:

Re: Which cam do you like (88-406)
that's what i was thinking, my only guess is the guy who said it looked small didn't realize that was a cam number. add a 1.5 or 1.6 rocker and you have some serious tripple spring needing lift.
