Crane 2050

I'm considering this cam for my 85, anybody have any luck using it with the stock computer. I know several people have good results with the 2040 but haven't heard of anyone using the 2050 and a search turned up no results.

Do you have the specs on the cam? Im not familiar with a 2040, know there was a 2030 which may be known as the 2032 now??

Sounds like youd need a tune, long tubes, good cyl. head, converter, gears, and a Superram Id imagine.

The LSA is 112 according to Summits site. For heads I have a set of old GM Performance 292 (a.k.a.Turbo heads). Exhaust is just the stock shorty's less air tubes with duel pipes and Flow Masters. tranny's a 4+3
