I'm almost set on getting this cam for my 305 tpi - for the last year in a half i've been stuck with a peanut cam and my car went from being a mid-low 14 sec car to a mid 15 sec car(my old 305 had the l98 cam) - just wondering if anyone had a better suguestion for a cam... just remeber i have to worry about the ecm because of the speed density... thanks

I've run the 2032 with 1.6 rockers for two years with great success. Not only is it a nice naturally aspirated cam, but it works excellent with nitrous and/or a supercharger. So if you plan on "upgrading" in the future, you won't need another cam.

-willie are you using 1.6 intake and exhaust or 1.5 intake with 1.6 exhaust - I've been told that the car will idle like crap /w 1.6 intake - but then again you have a super charger...

I'm using 1.6 for intake and exhaust. I also have all mods that would be considered good for a 350, not a 305, such as a TPIS base, runners, ported plenum, 52mm TB, 1-3/4" headers, etc.

Yes, I run a supercharger but there are times when I remove it. Keep in mind that even when the SC is on the car, it runs in boost only two percent (or so) of the time. The car runs excellent naturally aspirated without the SC.

And Crane "suggests" NOT to use this cam on a 305!!! hmmmmm........

Second what Willie said. I put 50k miles on my Crane 2032HR in my original LB9. Loved it. I also put an additional 20k on the same cam in my Trick Flow'd ZZ4. My only complaint with the current setup is, that it is just a little bit mild.
