cam
I have been looking at some CAM profiles. Some street/strip ones that offer good mid range are not too far off what mine is as far as lift, lobe seperation, and duration.
The only thing I noticed is that my cam favors the exhaust a bit more, which is fine for the use of nitrous but I'm not on the bottle all that often. What if I went to a 1.6 rocker on the intake? What would my max lift be? Would it help me out?
Thanks for all the input.
Example: Crower Cam
Specifications:
* Advertised duration: 286 intake/289 exhaust
* Duration at .050 in. cam lift: 225 intake/230 exhaust
* Gross valve lift: .454 in. intake/.463 in. exhaust
* Lobe separation: 112 degrees
* Power range for level 3 cam: 1,600 to 4,800 rpm
* Power range for level 4 cam: 2,000 to 6,200 rpm
* Recommended compression ratio: 9.5:1 to 11.5:1
Description:
Hot cams from Crower
Chevrolet: 262-400, (except 265) 286/289 advertised duration, Compu-Pro 284HDP, hydraulic, camshaft
Designed as a level 3 cam for 400 engines, this cam is intended for the Hot Street application. This cam offers an extended rpm range with emphasis on the mid-range. Performance rear-end gears, headers, dual exhaust, large cfm carburetor, and performance intake manifold are required.
This cam is also designed as a level 4 cam for 302 and 327 engines and is best suited for Hot Street or Drag Strip situations. This cam exhibits strong mid-range and top-end torque and horsepower. Modifications need to include low rear-end gears, headers, dual exhaust, large cfm carburetor, performance ignition, and increased compression ratio of 11:1.
