New Cam

I'm having a Comp Cam Extreme 266hr-14 cam installed in my 95-C4.

Is there anyone that has experience with the performance of this cam?

Does it have a good sound?

I wouldn't add a cam just for sound. However you're adding about 6 degrees of duration. It should sound somewhere between stock and the lt4 hot cam if I had to guess... Should run well.

I hope that you are replacing the springs at the same time.

While you are in there; replacing the stamped factory rockers with roller rockers will bring back some of the HP that is absorbed by the friction of the non-roller oem rockers.

Not changing lifters might void the cam warranty.

You are correct. I bought the kit. Cam, lifters, springs, rockers.

Thanks for the input.

TL;DR tested several different rockers incl roller and ball. The only hp difference found was probably due to ratio (1.5 vs 1.6). Many factors have to be considered such as float resistance etc, but in the test none of it seemed to make a difference.

Thank you! That was very interesting.

Yes I was surprised as I had always been under the impression that friction within the valve train components robbed available HP and that full rollers would significantly help that situation.

That's why I love this forum..... learn new things every day.
