Great to know that Jay continues to get quality products out there......based on the last OTS cam I "timed" (POJ) for a customer, he's getting another future customer when I change my X-303 next year. Thanks for the feedback.

he's really good...my tuner was a hater,cause he wanted me to "use" his cam....

like jay told me as well as most no this.....you race at the track not the dyno.

i never had a car pull so consistant in any gear...hell i can pass in 5th...

crane is a coppy cat on most cam profiles out there....actually my"E" cam was sent to me in a crane box..

it really depends on what "you" desire....i wanted something compatablel,and different....550/.533 229/239 @ 112. is what i got.

87-92 fuel wiring harness
fuel rails
fuel injectors
throttle bodie
new msd ignition coil / distributer

that is not always true about the exhaust needing more lift
ORIGINAL: 2 kwik

those abc cams suck...a dual pattern cam is what a 5.0 needs ..needs more lift on the exahust not just a lil more duration like the abc cams have
prove it!

Good numbers on the cam......it is a little more radical than FRPP's Z-303 (228°/228° - .552"/.552" @112°) any "advertised duration #'s" on it, overlap should be a little over 62°.
