which cam is better? Will these cams work with the stock computer with 1.6 ratio roller rockers? I talked to some people with the h-272-2 crane cam and they said they dont recommened this cam for a stock car with low compression so i narrowed my cam choices down to these two cams. Will either of these cams have a lopey sound or at least more sound then a stock cam (noticible difference over stock).

 

Specs?

 

intake lift- .427 exhaust lift-.454
intake duration-260 exhaust duration-272
intake duration @.50- 204 exhaust duration @.50- 216

 

Seems like barely a tad more than the MTC-5 -

278/288 SAE
204/214 @ .050
.422/.444" lift

The Crane ramps up quicker than the MTC-5, though, from what I can see... is the advertised duration @ .006"? If so, then yeah, the Crane will make more power.

How much is the 260 kit?

 

it's @ .004

 

Cripes.. in that case, it ramps up REALLY fast! It should make more power than the MTC-5. How much? I can't say, depends on what else ends up done with it. I would say an order of 5-10hp, over the MTC-5, all things equal.

 

I had the crane cam 427/454/112 LS in a 2.8,it,s idle is almost stock but it did perfrom well with a 390 holley 4bbl. G.M. has a 427 /454/109 LS cam The 112 LS has it's power more on top end,the 109 LS more mid range.

 

Tho this may not be the right answer,
insert a 3.4.
It's got the better cam & more bore & stroke, too.
Add the rockers so desired, to increase the stock 3.4 cam.

 

will this cam work great with a turbo like the mtc-5 did with doward?
