Custom grind Cam Motion camshaft, 50 street miles, $225

Selling my blower cam that was custom ground by Cam Motion.

This was made from their premium quality alloy 8620.

Specs are:
Intake: 236° @ 0.050", lobe size 0.360", 0.540" w/1.5 rocker.
Exhaust: 244° @ 0.050", lobe size 0.350", 0.525" w/1.5 rocker.
LSA: 114°
ICL: 110°
Hydrolic roller style cam
8620 steel alloy material
Standard bearings and standard firing order

Overall cam:

Front of cam showing custom grind specs. Sorry for the flash. If needed I can take clearer picture again.

Here you can see the lobes are barely used at all.

Backside of cam. Numbers define spec.


If you want to confirm anything with the manufacturer, just click the link and give them a call. They will help you double confirm the specs listed here.
http://www.cammotion.com/spec-your-o...-own-camshaft/

This cam was $450 new. It has 50 street miles on it and less than a dozen dyno pulls.

I also have the RR, hardened pushrods and lifters for sale in other threads. Please PM with any questions. Thanks!

No image of cam card.

all the info I have for the cam was listed in the original post. If you need any more data, you could call the manufacturer with the custom grind number. They were very easy for me to deal with.

Re: Custom grind Cam Motion camshaft, 50 street miles, $225

It's hard to tell by the pics, but I'm guessing it's a retro roller, not OE roller cam?

Do you have to use a plastic distributor gear with this cam?

Re: Custom grind Cam Motion camshaft, 50 street miles, $225

NA, about 400.

under booster I could not stop belt slip so I only made around 475 rwhp.

really depends on displacement, compression, heads, etc....

Sorry for the questions but I am currently looking for a new cam for my setup. How many lbs of boost were you running to experience belt slip? Was this cam in the 383?

Re: Custom grind Cam Motion camshaft, 50 street miles, $225

Cam was in a 383 with old Trick Flow heads. 750 DP C&S Billet Aerosol blow thru carb.

Thru a T56, into a Moser 12 bolt.

I was shooting for 14psi. I didn't come anywhere close.

I was using a 12 rib belt on a Procharger (old style) TPI bracket. Stationary tensioner (problem). Bracket flex was real bad.

As soon as I started to make boost, slip slip slip. Bracket was made for a P1 @ 6psi, and I was running an F1 shooting for more than double.

My advice would be that if you are looking for a new cam, take the specs I posted and call Cam Motion (or whomever can give you good advice) and tell them what else you are running and what you want to do with the car.

They will tell you if the cam is a good fit. Best way to sort of if it will work. It is basically new and cost me over $400. It is in a bubble wrapped box in my basement waiting for the right buyer.

Let me know if I can help out in any other way.

Thanks.

Price dropped to $50. Anyone want this?
Basically new cam. Retro roller that was in my Gen I SBC.
If I still have this in a month from now, it will be garage art I guess...
