Cam question for 350 TPI
When I bought my car, I was told by the former owner that it had the largest cam that could go into a TPI 350. My motor came out of a 91 Corvette. It was balanced and blue printed for 1.6 rockers which are going in this week.
my question is, what would be the specs for the "largest" cam you could put in a TPI? Its a Crane cam and doesn't lope real hard but you can tell it has an after market cam
Thanks in advance

Re: Cam question for 350 TPI
I ran a .214/ .224 duration @ .050, with headers and a hypertec [yuk] memcal, but that was in a 406 -- got 23 mpg on the highway and ran 12.20's through the muffler with street tires.... oh yeah, it was an '87 with MAF

Re: Cam question for 350 TPI
probably the largest one they make I would imagine -- is that the answer you were looking for??
Just trying to give some reference for ya, sorry, next time, you can just figure it out by calling a cam company or something... I imagine they would know best, they have all the R&D money...

No Gregg, I appreciate it. The different size motor, lead me to think your answer might be wrong.
