Thread: camshaft

Hello.
The camshaft is complete with a lifter and is brand new in box. So never used. He received / ordered the wrong camshaft. Do you think it is a god cam for street?

Agree with Louey concerning application. Manual trans or loose converter with automatic.

I would not use this cam, though, under any circumstances. These damned Extreme Energy cams are noisy and have a more than better chance that they will roach a couple of lifters due to the racical (that's why the grind is called "Extreme") grind profile of the ramps. You can make the most horsepower if you yank the valve open, hold it open longer and then slam it shut quickly. This theory works only so far though and in my personal opinion, I think Comp has carried the whole mess to an unreasonable conclusion.

Trust my 50+ years of dinkin' with this stuff and get yourself a roller tappet camshaft and kit. Remember I said this when you have to tear the motor completely down to clean out the shrapnel from the roached flat tappet cam and start over.

It is a 4 speed manual gearbox, but has a c6 with a 2500 stall as well. Does anyone know how many degrees the ignition should be on these magnums cam?

Here it is all laid out for you. Just choose whatever comes closest to your combination and find the crankshaft ignition lead on the far right of the table. Determine what total advance your combustion chambers will support and add the difference into the weights, example, 16 at the crank plus 18 in the weights = 34. All the advance should be in by 2800-3000.
