The only 2.8/3.1 cam that will not MESS your computer up is the CRANE 2030 CompuCam. Blue Racer will toss your system off in so many ways... That is unless you are a carb guy and not MPFI....

Looks exactly like GM's "performance camshaft #1", part #12353919, on their website at http://www.spoperformanceparts.com . Go to parts catalog, then 60-degree v6, then camshafts/camshaft kits/bearings. Why do I say that? Check out their specs!

Similar qualities:

Degrees Duration at 0.050
Intake: 204
Exhaust: 214

Lobe centerline: 112

Gross lift (at valve):
Intake: 0.420"
Exhaust: 0.442"

Of course, the GM #12353919 is made by Crane, so I guess Crane is now selling them directly instead of "just" through GM.

Oh, and NO 2.8/3.1 camshaft has been certified as 50-state legal. That doesn't mean that it won't pass a smog check, it just means that nobody's tested & proven it to. No cam's been certified by CARB yet. In fact both GM & Crane say it's for off-road-use only.

well I checked the price to the local dealer and I can get it cheaper through crane. And again I am in a non emissions area so that does not matter to me, I just ant something to perk this motor up a little.
