Just curious, has anyone tried this cam in their car? I'm just wondering what kind of results it has, and compared to the CC305. It looks like a pretty decent cam. I'm not thinking about switching cause I wouldn't switch to a cam barely bigger than the one I have, I'm just curious about what kind of results this cam makes, and if anyone has dyno sheet for it.
The crane cam specs are
222/230 .509/.529 112 LSA

CC305
220/230 .510/.510 114 LSA

 

no dyno here but my buddy had one in his LT1 swap s10 and it made some really nice power. he ran low 13's with nothing else done(also really bad 60' times). i really liked it when i rode with him.

is that cam the same as the GM 846?

 

Those two cams are much to similiar to notice a difference between. If you want to go bigger, take a look at the Comp XE 230/236, or 224/230... Combination Motorsports also has alot of custom grinds worth checking out.

 

The specs on the 847 are:
234/242 .539/.558

EDIT: As pointed out by WS Sick the question was in regard to the 846 not the 847 that I mention above.

 

I thought that was the GM 847, the 846 is smaler.

 

You are right...Sorry about the confusion. I wan't paying attention... Previous post corrected as well.

 

GM sells an 845, 846 and 847 cam. all of which are made by Crane.

GM845 - 214/224 @ 0.050, .448/.509 lift
GM846 - 222/230 @ 0.050, .509/.528 lift
GM847 - 234/242 @ 0.050, .539/.558 lift

Personally (and this is just my opinion) I'm not a big fan of the XE grinds. I'd take the Crane 222/230, Hotcam or CC305 anyday over the XE224/230. It might be the fact that theres only 6 degrees more exhaust duration than intake, but most of the guys that've run 11s on stock heads or dynoed 400+ rwhp with poorted heads have used non-XE cams.

 

I've been feeling like Grease lately. The XE grinds are putting down the numbers on the dyno, but at the track they seem to be a tad behind the traditional ramps. This might have something do with the fact that XE grinds are peaking at 6K or so opposed to 6.5K+ with an 847/306 and ported heads. I think for a strictly track car, or mostly track with occasional street use on the weekends, I would stick with the non XE grinds. I feel for a strictly street car, the XE grinds are superior. Better vacuum, better driveability, more useable powerband. Just my thoughts.

 

I knew someone would still give me some advice on not to switch to that cam from my cam I already have, that I know already! That's why I posted that I'm not going to switch the CC305 for this one. AND, like they said already, the XE 224/230 isn't hardley (if any) bigger than the CC305. Anyway, but I do sort of wish I would have gone w/ this Crane cam in the 1st place. I think it's good for a few more ponies than the CC305. Oh well, not that big of deal. I guess the GM 846 is this cam? That's cool, it must be a pretty decent performer then. I know the GM 847 is an awesome cam.
