I have the De-tuned 86 305. I am rebuilding and want to use the 87-92 cam. I see a cam from Titan on eBay that match the spec listed on the third gen tech page. Has anyone used or purchased a cam from Titan? Price is reasonable. Thanks for any replies.

 

86 is flat-tappet; 87-up are roller.

 

I've used the Summit K1102 house brand (flat tappet) cam several times to upgrade from the LG4 "peanut cam". It's a little hotter cam than the L69HO cam, but just by a smidge. Works fine with the ECM. Quality is good. Price is right.

 

The cam says use flat followers. Would that make it like the 85 motor?

 

Great suggestion. Don't want too much extra ump as this is my daughters 16th birthday present.... But want to have a little more than the 1986 base HP

 

Then it's not the 87-92 cam.

In that one respect at least, yes.

Never heard of "Titan". Of course I don't claim to have heard of everything; but I'd like to think I've heard of most actual cam manufacturers. Which that is NOT. Meaning, I wouldn't trust it as far as I could throw it, let alone spend any money on it, considering the amount of damage a flat-tappet cam failure can cause to an engine. They might be perfectly reputable and reliable; but if they're not, .... then what?

 

86 was an oddball motor. It got a one piece rear main seal, but not yet the roller cam. It's basically a regular old 85 flat tappet block but with a one piece rear main seal.
