Anyone running the 209/217 Isky cam
Just trying to get some opinions on this cam. Did a search and found no results... The complete specs are
.465 .485 valve lash hot int. ex. .000 .000 adv. duration int. ex. 257° 265° .050 duration int. ex. 209° 217° lobe center 112° Seem good for daily with a 125 shot once an awhile? Also I dont plain on doing heads because I bought some afr 210s.

I never heard of that cam before but run a similar one, a GMPP ZZ4 crate motor cam specs are 208/221 .474/.510 with 1.5 and it is also on a 112. I like it, manners and sound can be easily mistaken for stock b-body cam(smaller yet than your stocker) even by fellow gearheads. If you are willing to put up with some "cammed" manners then maybe look a little bigger, if you still want that one then maybe consider the ZZ4 cam, it has a little more lift and is probably cheaper, well under $200 last I looked.
Re: Anyone running the 209/217 Isky cam
I would get the Crane cam that is similar to that cam, except it has more lift in it.
Duration @ .050 210/224
LSA 112
Lift ~.5 on both sides with 1.5 ratio
This is the cam I have in my SS and it is very tame, almost like stock but you can hear it if you are paying attention. You can get it from GMPP too.

Re: Anyone running the 209/217 Isky cam
Yea but i only paid 65$ for the cam and lifters which have 5k on em. Why pay another 200$ more for basically the same thing just looking to see if it gonna give me a nice torque monster.
Re: Anyone running the 209/217 Isky cam
should give you a reasonable boost in power, maybe throw some 1.6 rockers on it. the lift will (should) be under the max lift of the springs, and you'll pick up a little more hp.
either some well priced roller tip 1.6 rockers or maybe some more $$ full roller rockers.
just my opinion

Re: Anyone running the 209/217 Isky cam
Hehehe yea im just hoping this cam will be a very nasty mid range cam... Hey Speed D. how far are u from orlando would love to check out your car to see what im in for basically. I do got fully ported heads by lloyd also I will be putting on in the near future
Re: Anyone running the 209/217 Isky cam
This is a roller cam right? I ask because of one the low lift and two it is perfectly acceptable to reuse roller lifters with a different cam so I seems odd someone swapped lifters again with such low milage.

I did the hotcam, and although it was a nice power gain, tunned it still drives like the stock cam, & gets great gas mileage. Larger cam = more power, at least with the heads your going to be running. With propper tunning, a fairly large cam will still drive very tame.

My car with ported LT1 castings flowing less then LE's, 210/224 112 cam 1.5/1.6RRs, SLP headers, 58mm TB, all flowing through stock y-pipe with cats put down 310rwhp 330rwtq. With a set of lts and O/R y-pipe, my car could easily turn 340rwhp. The nice thing about the cam is that it doesn't die until ~5k rpms, but that is mostly due to the cats. I think you could suprise a lot of people with that cam/heads and some lts with a O/R y-pipe.
Re: Anyone running the 209/217 Isky cam
Im not using longtubes. Im sticking with my slp shorties only because I dont know if I will be moving back up north to an emissions **** county.... But I will be using an or ypipe... Hope to throw down some nice #'s
