Does anyone know about this cam kit from Falcon Performance on E-bay, dubbed LG4 Ultimate Camshaft Kit?

I've heard of all of the major players in cam tech but never of Falcon Cams. Maybe they're a more recent company of the last few years and if that is the case I'd be weary of buying something from them. Just my .02 cents.

looking at the specs. it looks like it would be a stock replacement cam. I mean it is nice to get all the components for the swap. But Id look into comp cams first and see if they have something with a lil more "juice". No sense in doing a cam swap w/o picking up some power!

I agree with both of you. I am leaning towards the Comp Cams XE256 kit; $320 for the kit is the least expensive I've found on ebay:

your carbureted so that cam wont be too bad. At least you'll know you changed it when you fire it up. Not a bad choice at all.

LSA stands for Lobe, Separation, Angle in regards to camshafts and engine technological terms.

well i just read a thread in the tbi section and it says the peanute cam is 109 lsa so maybe I am wrong. Just preferably buy a cam designed for computer controlled engines.

I think I found it.

HYDRAULIC - Fair idle with lope, use as
replacement for 350H.P. 327 cam. Good mid-range
horsepower with wide power band.
BASIC RPM 2200-5200

114 lsa angle is good. But with a 306 advertised duration its not goign to run great. I thik it has a lot of overlap. I bet its going to be a pain in the butt to run right. I hope someone with more experience will chime in.

woo hoioo good news man!!!

my uncle said they used this cam in the 372 motors for stock
and duration 302???? i hope its not that much and wat could i do to make it run good???

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

well the advertised duration doesnt mean much. Because manufacturers measure at different points. THe duration at .050 is the industry standard. now I cannot guarantee how it will run. But my guess is it'll have a lope too it

I think I'd trust Comp just a little more than an ebay cam. Never heard of them.
