Default RE: cam question

well the way i see it the E cam is a wilder grind then the B so if the E is emission legal then the B must be
acutally the b is wilder,for this reason look at the duration at .50 the b has more and it has a tighter intake centerline but the e does have more lift but that does not mean it is not a tame cam, just listen to the idle of both cams and that will tell you which one is wilder

well the reason i thought the B cam was tamer was the fact that lift on B was .480 and E was .498. Duration on the B was .224 and E was .220, i dont have the center lines of them but duration was only 4 degrees off and E had more lift so figured it was a wilder grind. Only thing i know is E IS legal and maybe B and a F is pretty much all the cam u can use with out relief valves in pistons and even the F might be to much.

well if emmisson aren't a problem then you don't want the abc cams...you need a dual pattern cam..nothing wild as you have stock heads..which I would either port them or sell them for some aluminums ones..I might be able to get you a set for about 775.00

you know you can buy a tool to cut notches for the valves in your pistons with them still in the block don't you? lots of work as you have to keep taking the head on/off but it can be done if you're that desparate! LOL
