Default is this cam any good?????

what can i expect from a cam with these specs: duration @50 218/218; lift .456/.456; 110 lsa. i am planing on puting 1.7 rockers on that should raise the lift to .486/.486. what kind of 1/4 e.t potential does this have???

Can expect to pay more for gas... LOL Why are you getting 1.7? use stock cam if you gonna use 1.7? It will change the lift also.

Dare I ask why you installed a cam without having the slightest idea of what it might do for the car?????

well, since the numbers don't appear to be much more than a stock cam
(advertised specs are 266/266 degrees duration, 0.444"/0.444" lift)
I don't see where this one will do that much at all.

well the thing that makes this came better is the 110 lsa (lobe seperation angle) it also has a way better duration @50 which is 218 as opposed to like 194 or something. the advertised on the cam is 268 not musch difference there. the @50 numbers are the importent ones not advertised.but ya i think it is time for the 1.7 lol!!!!!
