Are you sure you can't use this cam with the build you are doing? I think I would be checking with Crane techs and the engine builders on this forum before giving up on this cam.

You know Deuce, I originally thought I could get away with this cam, and I probably could use it, but I don't think it's ideal for my my motor. I think this is a cam for a 500-550hp bracket race motor that runs at 4500-7500 rpm. I'm more at 2500-6500 rpm and the lobe separation at 106 is probably a bit lopey for a street car. I don't know, I'm tempted to use it, but, I think I should downgrade to a 232@.540" roller or flat tappet cam. I know enough to be dangerous but not enough to know what I'm doing. lol
