Got a Cam!?
Hey guys i am going to get the money order tommaro what do you guys think? He said " 230/236 HR113, Lift is 0.544/0.554 with 1.6 rockers. Its inbetween the CC305 and the CC306." He said that it was run for about 15k miles? And he ran it in a stock corvette he ran 108mph when stock is 101mph?
Then what do you think i will run with this cam?
96 impala ss (iron heads)

3:73 posi

high performance shift kit
3000 stall

well itis a used motor piece so... IMHO I would not want it considering the expensive part of a cam is install., but that is just me, it only takes a few minutes to mess it up.
will be better to get a cam and rockers though for sure.
good luck

It is all about a package.
Was the cam in a similar spec engine to yours? Same heads/ driveline/etc
How did it run?
Just because it made 500Hp is someone else's engine doesn't mean it will do same in yours.
This is a "biggish" cam , but you have low gears and a stall so it "should" work OK.

You don't have to back out, but you really need to think it through, because a cam dictates intake, RR's then needs headers to breathe and so on.
I would say good deal, but again it has been driven for 15k, who knows if he broke it in riight, or changed oil???? anything?
that is why I would hesitate. you can find brand new cams people buy and never even install for like $200 and I have seen them less on sites in the past lately with economy trouble, and you will know exactly what you are getting and how to set it up.
I am sure that we sound like a drag, but for that price and miles no rush for me.

My primary concern is whether it suitable for his combo or could he do better
