Thread: Camshaft advice (again...)

Tweet

I bought a comp cam timing chain that has crank sprockets with three keyways, which allow you to set cam timing at 4 degrees advanced. I may try this...
thx

the comp 268 as a good cam this cam is ground on 110 so i think you would be at 106 intake center line. power is saying 1500to 5500 so you could AV it 4 if you want would come in faster???? how much gear do you have in it ??? no gear then you may want to move it . but i had one 28 years ago in a 396 stock engine with headers and alum intake holley street dom and it run very good and made good low and mid power in at heavy car .i would try it strait up your 454 has CID working for you. so looking at the cam it is not to big but you do have low CR so you could move it that would be up to you. if you can get the cr up i think that could be done easy then i would not do any thing with the cam. this cam small so you could cut the heads down and run a steel shim head gasket with out any pistons to valve problems .i would run it thru a desktop dyno to see if moving it would do much and run it with more av and a bit more cr if you have this cam use it. if not find a marine cam that would be a 330 hp merc cam that cam would make 330 hp with all your parts with a good intake and headers 375 hp easy
