Re: Which camshaft for the most performance?

The LT4 cam will probably work better with the stock computer tuning.

The Crane will probably require more computer tuning.

The lift with 1.6 rockers on the LT4 cam is VERY close to the accepted limit of .480" for stock heads. Make sure you check your retainer to valve guide seal clearance. Or you can get a set of Manley 22409-16 springs and 23651-16 retainers and be good for .500" lift on stock heads. Also make sure you change the valve guide seals while you're changing springs so you dont get the puff of smoke on startup when the seals wear out.

Should be about 15-20 horsepower at the flywheel.
