I thought Crane was out of business or bought by someone else? Personally, I'd call Lloyd Elloit and have him custom spec/grind a cam for exactly what you want and it will probably be around the same amount of money. I have one of his custom spec'd bullet cams and I love it.

That is an excellent cam for the LT1. Hardly any lope, has dyno'd 360 rwhp, and ran 11.4x with bowl ported heads in the f-body.

It has great street manners, hardly any lope and gobs of torque. It is actually smaller than the hot cam but performs equally as well.

Old grind but solid performer, the manners should be good as stock if the tuning is good.

Re: Crane cams info?

The automotive cam & valvetrain segment will take quite some time to get back up to speed. All of the newer equipment was leased, and wasn't offered as part of the assets up for auction. The rest of the equipment ended up all over the country, with a good portion of it ending up at Callies. They are now very strong in the camshaft core business.
