take a look at this cam

lobe separation 109.3
valve overlap -30.5 crank degree
centerline int 105.3 atdc /exh 113.3 btdc,
duration int 181.8 crank degree/exh 194.2,
peak cam lift int .233/exh .255,
peak valve lift int .362/.373exh,
lift at tdc int .0199/.0198 exh.
dur at .050 int. 181.8/exh .194.2
what would this cam do in a 5.7. what is this cam set up for? The 109.3 lobe sepation is quite low possible giving a rough idle but being the lift numbers are low maybe not. What do you all think about this cam and what would it be good for?

Re: take a look at this cam (vert2go89)

Waaay too many extraneous numbers jumbled in there to make any sense of. What *I* noticed was, " valve overlap -30.5 crank degree ". Is that, negative 30 1/2 degrees??? If it really refers to 30* of overlap, then "lope" won't be a problem Good luck, and...

RACE ON!!!

That cam would be good for nothing in a 350. Less than .400 lift?!?! That sounds like a 4 cylinder cam.

Re: take a look at this cam (vert2go89)

If that 181.8 is the .050 number, then it's a very, very short duration camshaft. A lot shorter than even the stock TPI camshaft.

I suspect it is for something like a 305 - Three-Oh-Five - or maybe even something smaller in displacement, like a 283 or, what was the other little guy, a 262.

You can post your question on the ThirdGen.org board because some of those guys have Three-Oh-Five engines in their 'F' bodies.

I think there was a 262, 20 or so years ago. The original "mouse" was a 265.

Definitely way wimpy even for a 305, I have an ex 1980 350 Corvette cam in a 305, (low 200's @ .050 ?), and that doesn't feel big or lumpy at all.

Could you weld it to an old rotor and make a desk lamp out of it or something :confused:

That's exactly what I thought about it but the 109.3 had me confused. A cam with higher number like a 112 or 116 would be more of a radical cam? PS it would make an ugly lamb even.

Re: take a look at this cam (vert2go89)

Waste of time cam. As a comparison here's some of the specs from a cam I just installed in a 350:

269/269 @ .006
.528/.528 lift with 1.6 lifters
Lobe centerline is 110 with a 4d Advance
