has any used the edelbrock tbi cam? is it worth it? any problems?

 

This oughta be interesting.

 

I SEARCH THE CAM A GOT NO HELPFUL INFO. FIRST OFF I DONT HAVE A ROLLER BLOCK. I HAVE A 350 TBI W TPI HEADS. EXHAUST ECT. HAS ANY ONE USED THIS CAM.

 

What are the specs?

 

I'm probably wrong, but I think he means this cam. I vaguely remember a cam listed for the TBI engine.

 

Yeah, your probably right. Thats a 929 type cam. Not much better then stock. You wouldnt even notice much of a difference.

 

THATS THE CAM. HAS ANY ONE USED IT?

 

My crate 350 came with the GM version of it. The motor was a complete dog with that cam. The power was done and gone by 4k.

 

is a complete dog a good thing?

 

Yeah, really good. It will also keep you out of trouble with the law.

 

"dog" = EXTREME LACK OF POWER

 

EXTREME POWER=1969 DZ 30/30 Duntov solid lifter camshaft

 

Don't even bother with that cam.

That is all....

Whats the big problem with the cam???????dont tell about roller cams i dont have a roller block. dont want to burn chips either. i really want first hand info on the cam not opinions.

 

Need we spell it out for you. We know the cam. The cam rivals the stock "929" cam. It is not even noticeable over stock. I would recomeend something a little hotter. 214/214 or so, of course you will need to burn chips. If you don't want to burn chips, leave the engine STOCK.

 

I PUT IN THE EDELBROCK CAM AND PUT ON SOME TUNE PORT HEADS. AND IM VERY PLEASED WITH THE CAM . I ALSO PUT ON ROLLER ROCKERS , DOUBBLE TIMMING CHAIN,AND PERFORMANCE BALENCER. BASICALLY THE CAM IS WORTH IT( COMPUTER COMPATABLE ALSO). I HAVE IT THATS FIRST HAND INFO . NOT OPINION ON SOMTHING I DONT OWN LIKE A LOT OF INFO GIVEN ON THIS SITE.

 

MR ALL CAPS, FYI Alot of things we don't have to OWN to have knowledge of. I know how to read a cam chart VERY well. The Edelbrock 3702 performer TBI cam is a lame joke of a cam. It is not any hotter than a Vortec Truck/ B-Car LT1 cam. A Crane 2030 is a MUCH better cam than the Edelbrock 3702. Summits 1101 is just about the SAME cam as the Edelbrock for about half the cose. A summit 1102 or 1103 will make better power than the edelbrock cam and still cost 1/2 as much.

Competition cams makes a very nice XE grind cam for a computer engine. The XE 256 computer cam would run VERY nice in a stockish L03/L05.

 

double

 

yea that cam sucks thats not a opinion ur car will do a tenth of a second faster in the quarter maybe with a chip its not worth it just get a cam a lil bigger what ever block u have roller or machanical they sell cams

 

I have first hand experience with it and it sucks. Get something better...

 

Like said above, something like a base XE grind would be good. Also a single pattern would probably go well with the TPI heads as the I/E flow is fairly close. Maybe a 208/208, 210/210, or similar with a 112 LSA if this is a truck. It will have good vacuum and make good low/midrange torque with the smaller runner TPI heads.
