i had that cam in my old bolt on l98 engine.... it made a noticeable difference down low.... also had a nice lope to it.......... i think you would be happy to it... here is a video of that same 2032 cam on a fully bolt on l98

I have it in my formula. Don't waste your time. Go bigger...

88fastgta

iTrader: (9)

i would agree with bullydawg... but you have a superram and trickflow heads... that 2032 cam way is way too small you for but its big enough for a stock tpi and stock heads...thats the biggest cam he can put in there without any headwork or computer work........ its just a noticeable difference in torque down low.... that was with my old engine.... but now i stepped up to the gm hotcam and im much happier with that... but you have to modify the heads and get a tune and all.... would not work well with a stock tpi... but a high flowing unit would compliment it nicely...

Bullydawg

iTrader: (7)

I did not know that it was the biggest cam you could go with stock heads... how does it compare to the LT1 cam?

88fastgta

iTrader: (9)

its alot bigger than the lt1 cam... the l98 and lt1 are almost the same.. wouldnt bother swapping in a lt1 cam... but the stock heads have a max limit of 470-480 lift and the crane 2032 is pushing it as far as lift goes.... and since its under 220 duration its computer friendly... it made a difference for me because i had tpi and stock heads..... but with your superram and heads i would have put in a cam in the 224-230 duration area and mid 5xx lift range.....

burnout88

That cam is been around a long time and is a good upgrade to a standard TPI setup.

i have 1.6 roller rockers would that make the lift too big for stock heads?

dirtscooter

I recently ask the same question on another forum. I expect someone who has this 2032 cam in their dyno sim to answer eventually.

How far are your overall specs from this link? http://www.popularhotrodding.com/eng..._manifold.html Mine are close or a bit better in CR with 2vrs.
447horses? a surprise to me but the cam is a notch or two up. I would be happy with 400 at the flywheel.

88fastgta

iTrader: (9)

first off yes that cam is too big with 1.6 rockers... stock 1.5 rockers are the limit without any head work... i had that cam in my bolt on l98... low and midrange power increased.. you will not be anywhere near 400 horsepower with that cam and tpi..

2032 Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio: 0.452 int./0.465 exh. lift

2032 Valve Lift with 1.6 Rocker Arm Ratio: 0.482 int./0.496 exh. lift

Per 88fastgta (above), the stock heads have a max limit of 470-480 lift. I've always heard this as well. Therefore, Yes - the lift would be too high with 1.6rr.

Hope this helps!

NY3RDGEN

I have the 2032 with 1.6RR's. On my stock heads. Works fine with the proper hardware.

86Z

iTrader: (4)

i'm using that cam in my 305 with 1.6 ratio rockers, i like it 380/420 to the wheels

insomniac

iTrader: (3)

to make those kind anumbers you have to have alot more then just the cam

burnout88

He also has a procharger

walkthelin3

Will the 2032 work with my tpi 305? Everyone who brings this cam up has a 350

burnout88

Yes, it will work great with 305 or 350. 86Z has it in his 305 and many others also do.

Orr89RocZ

iTrader: (20)

Its probably a better 305 cam than a 350 cam. I like a little larger cams, and would add 5-6 degs to it for a 350 car but its a good cam for a stock headed car that you dont want to rebuilt the heads for higher lift cams.

Red 87 GTA

i did finally get a dyno run on my car after installing the cam in my 350 with a custom chip and a few other small mods it pulled 278hp 356tq @ wheels and does the quarter in the high 13s im very happy with it

Orr89RocZ

iTrader: (20)

Was that with STock TPI or aftermarket TPI intakes? Thats really not bad at all with stock TPI! Aftermarket units I'd expect abit more power than that but really depends on the dyno. I'd expect stock cammed L98's to make 240-255whp depending with aftermarket TPI big tube setups. With mild cam, figure 10-20whp more, possibly more depending on the cam.

Red 87 GTA

stock tpi setup ported a liltle bit with a custom tuned chip for the cam plus 92 octane and bam 278 rwhp not bad at all. I will proberly make a bit more soon im redoing the ignition and the fuel pump when the warm comes back proberly get 10-15 more out of her hopefully

Orr89RocZ

iTrader: (20)

Your original post said 255 / 350 i thought? So its 278? Thats MUCH better and along the lines of what I expected...actually abit more considering the stock base with alittle port work. very nice.

Now if you had 2800-3000 stall, full suspension and some drag wheels in cold NJ air down at MIR in November, you should beable to run 12.7-12.8's if the car isnt over 3500 lbs with you in it

insomniac

iTrader: (3)

good numbers hope when i get to the track in the spring i can get in the 12's with the 2032 tpis intake, slp runners, msd distrib, ported plenum, and 3" magnaflow with hooker 2055's

Red 87 GTA

shes running solid mid to high 13s on 255 tires with fully stock suspension the trans is built but no stall. there is some spin with those tires i may need to break out the drag radials that might put it to the low 13s braking into the 12s

Red 87 GTA

hey guys here is a video on youtube of her at idle take a look

88fastgta

were you ever able to get a 1/4 time or dyno numbers b4 it blew up?

88fastgta

iTrader: (9)

no track numbers but i did get dyno numbers, then after a third shot on the dyno it blew up..... my dyno numbers were 213whp and 283wtq... i was super pissed by the numbers... but the engine was old and had over 150,000 miles and had numerous overheating problems in the past....found out that the blocked was cracked.... so that may be the reason to my low numbers..

Red 87 GTA

nope heads are stock just got rebuilt and a valve job. the block is 30d over with 10.5:1 comp ratio and the whole thing is internal balanced oh and everything emmisions got tossed

formula forever

I want to bring back this thread. I read somewhere you need an adjustable fuel regulator to have this cam. Also you need no headwork at all. Just install and go?

insomniac

iTrader: (3)

that is true, plug and play. will need a tune

grumpyvette

Its been my experience that ,that cam averages about 35 flywheel, hp increase over the stock cam in a well tuned TPI
a very good return in increased power for the cost in a stock TPI.

Bullydawg

I used to run this cam also... Decent cam, just too mild for my build. Bumped up to the 268XFI... I have it in my storage still... Haven't gotten around to selling all my old parts.

SiCkRs

iTrader: (6)

when you decide to sell the 2032 cam lmk bullydawg

Bullydawg

iTrader: (7)

I'll be home on leave in Feb... PM me...

iTrader: (6)

ok pm sent

my friend of mine says there is a gm cam. hot cam that he claims will give me 44 flywheel HP. and will play nice with my computer. what is the next cam slightly bigger then the crane 2032?

Ed1LE

iTrader: (39)

Hey Bullydawg, ever sell that 2032?

Bullydawg

iTrader: (7)

I completely forgot about digging out the cam. I just got back from leave, it's still sitting in my storage. I won't be back for a year, but next time I am home I will be out and going through my storage selling all my spare parts.

VincentZ28

iTrader: (2)

Those numbers has been done but with just a 1 3/4in SLP and Dyno Don Headers with dual cats and 3in catback and gutted air box with K&N Filters and with all the emissions an A/C hooked up.
These cars runs in the low 13's @104-106mph

I have that cam in my car. Good idea to change your springs also. And while your in there changer your valve seals as well. I did install a Holley AFPR, I like them the best.
I also jumped up to LT1 24# injectors. YES I had to have it all tuned. Still runs a little rich, but for a 305....I have a quick one that's for sure. And the 3.73's help out a little too haha!

JerseyGeneral

ahhh Really! How is that possible?

Ed1LE

iTrader: (39)

Dang, digging up an 8 year old thread! 😂

As I recall, he was running a ProCharger to get those numbers.

86blackiroc

iTrader: (12)

Ah, the old days. I bought that cam 20+ years ago, got around to installing it back in early '04. I'm probably one of the few still running an old CompuCam? I run it with old Edelbrock RPM heads, TES headers and RPM exhaust, old style Accel injectors, an air foil, a ported plenum and otherwise stock TPI choking the whole system. Low-mid powerband is impressive feeling.

insomniac

iTrader: (3)

Still rocking that cam since 2014. Sounds great with the magnaflow exhaust

86Z

iTrader: (4)

i had a procharger D1SC pushing 14psi of boost... and some other mod's

i pulled all that crap and sold it in favor for a cammed 6.0 LQ9. best mod by far.
