Whats up with everyone today busting a load over teeny tiny cams? Why not just get a cam like a cc305? It will make more power at EVERY point in the powerband with a TQ curve as flat as the kitchen table. It is a TQ cam and has effectively zero overlap at .05 and has enough duration and lift to have *****.

I understand that some cams are too big for peoples likeings, like I run a 236/242 cam (its in a 383 though). If I let you drive it, you would NEVER go back. Not saying duration is everything, but there is a reason that stock cams are small.

There is a point where you can overcam a car. For example, my friend has a 99ss with a 25x/25x cam in his car and he makes absolutely no power under 4k rpm. It does scream and make sick power (its a dyno queen) but he cant seem to break into the 10s (hes got a forged 383 AFR LS1 putting down 500 rwhp).

It all boils down to what you want out of your engine. For me, I wanted it to lope like a SOB and pull hard from 2500-6500. Emmisions doesnt matter and I know tuning is gonna be hell.

I guess it just goes to show that it is easier to overcam a car than to undercam it....

Didnt mean to rain on anyone's parade, gongrats on the time. Different strokes for differnt folks.
