Crane "baby cam" 227

do you think there is any more power in this cam by adding a 1.7 rocker to it? i have a 1.6 now.

Re: Crane "baby cam" 227

lift on that cam with 1.5s is .479/.518 with 1.6s it would be .511/.553 with 1.7s .542/.587
I might try it on the intake side but not the exhaust unless your heads have been reworked to support and flow at that kind of lift on the exhaust side.

Problem I see there is you likely have SA 1.6s now but to do 1.7s you will need non-sa and guideplates which would mean buying a second set of non-sa 1.6s for the exhaust side.
I am currently trying some CHEAP 1.65 SA aluminum roller rockers don't have enough miles on them yet that I would feel comfortable recommending them as after I bought I did somemore digging and found some guys I know who had issues with this brand.

You should make more power but Im not gonna guess how much. Just make sure you check for the proper pushrod length with 1.7s.

Re: Crane "baby cam" 227

I was debating doing the same thing when I had that cam, but I decided to spend the $$ and put in a new cam, and I'm glad I did. I lost a little lowend, not much, but gained a ****load of topend.
