Starfury on my old post you reccomended a cam and i like it. I was at the same time looking at the crane crn-364381 it has 288 duration, 226@.50 and .488 lift. What is your opinion on this cam or do ypu like the comp better now? I am currently running a comp 268duration and .456 in my truck and it does wonderul i just wanted a little more in the 289. Forgot to mention the truck is a 302. Sorry to be a botherbut i just value your info alot.


THANKS

P.S.the cam you mentioned was the comp xe256h

 

There is much more information that needs to be taken into consideration when chosing a cam. Answer these questions and I'm sure there are many folks here that can help you:

What compresson ratio?
Is this for the truck or a Mustang? If so, what Mustang or what truck?
What transmission?
What rear axle ratio?
What intake manifold and carb?
What exhaust?
What are you looking for, pulling power or maximum drag racing horsepower?

 

Sorry cbailey, I got tied up last night. I'll take a look at it when I get back from paintballing today

 

Ok, got a chance to take a look at that cam. It would work...but it depends on a couple things. The XE256H is going to be a more driveable cam, meaning it has better power across the rpm range, and much better low-end torque. It will give you a smoother idle and better throttle response, but will still wind up just fine, probably all the way up to 5400.

The Crane 364381 cam is going to be more aggressive. You'll end up with a lumpier idle and sacrifice a lot of low-end torque/throttle response for high-rpm power. It will probably spin all the way up to 5700 or so, which is higher than I'd recommend on stock rod bolts. It would work if you want an agressive cam that likes to wind up (and have the rear end gears to match), but I'd try to keep the rpm's down. If you break a rod bolt, your engine is toast.

 

Thanks dude for the info, your the man
