I had this cam in my 306 and loved it, and you have plenty of spring height to run this cam simply swap it out. I would also suggest running a smaller T/B that 75mm may be hurting your power.

i talked to Shuan about that cam, and he said it wouldnt do much more better than the Ecam

---

nothing that works with the valve springs you have now will be very different than an e-cam at all.

What he said.

FYI, if you want a totally bad-ass camshaft that was designed to work with AFR's, longtubes, & an RPM intake.....I've got one at the shop.

Custom HiTech Motorsports camshaft 232/228 110LSA
(Will NOT pass smog & MUST have pistons notched to fit)
You'll most definately need new valvesprings, retainers, seats, & seals. You'll also have to ditch the crappy stock/crane 1.72 rocker arms for some quality pedistal mount units.

First in Camara90's 347 & made 380+RWHP (low 11's on DR's)
Next this cam was in AaronC's stock bottom end AFR165 setup with 1 &3/4 longtubes, Ported RPM intake & threw down 335RWHP with 180K miles on the stock shortblock.
His convertable ran basement 12's on street tires.

The cam is yours for $150.
But plan on spending another $159 on springs, $329 on Titainum retainers, $350 on quality rocker arms (like scorpians), $30 on seats, $25 on seals, $90 on a billet adjustable timing chain, & labor to notch the pistons......plus gaskets that you'll need to put it back together.

Camara90 and AaronC were local CAFords (98cobra.com) legends. Both super impressive combos, drag racers. Then one day they fell off the face of the earth. It was a joke about running a cam that was in both their cars saying that you would be the next one to fall of the face of the earth.

---

OHHH!!! i see.....
no way that will happen to me, i'll still be around...and still be slow. LOL

so does that cam sound just as badass as the power it should make?

You should address this problem 1st & also with the rite tool it is possible to do the spring's with the head's on the car.

My 185s do the same thing!..My builder went through my heads and said that the springs they were sufficent. But he was wrong...when i got my car dyno'd you can see it fall off @ around 5400. And you can really feel it while driving.
Did you pick up any power????

Did you gain any tenths??

What springs did you got with?

How can it be done with the heads on??

Post up your dyno graph or take a close look at it and you will see where the valve springs start to take a nose dive.

So he should buy a cam based on your advice as opposed to calling people who do this for a living? Unless you grind cams for a living then maybe you need to ease off that statement. Theres a lot more to it than you think. Maybe you should open a book and take a look before you try selecting a cam for someone based on your opinion of cams.

---

Im not telling him to go with what im telling him or neone else in here YOU assumed no one knew what they were talking about and yes i do know everything involved in selecting a cam that works for a particular engine it was simply my opinion, i didnt say "this is the best cam you should by it fuck everybody else" if you seen that then go buy some glasses nobody on here knows everything and im pretty sure you dont either so dont hop on this motherfucker like you know everybody were all here for the same reasons to get other ppls opinions. And yes calling professionals who do this all day everyday is the best thing to do so why didnt he do it, maybe cause he knows ppl on here who he can relate to a little easier so since you dont know me and i dont know you lets keep assumptions out of our mouths.
