I don’t have the cam but I would recommend getting a custom cam to Texas speed or Pat G instead of a off the shelf cam.

Always good to have at least three potential options, I’d recommend Cam Motion and do an 8620 core custom grind blower cam 👍🏻🇺🇸

Or at least use the Cam Motion 8620 core and have whoever you want to the grind.

Russ,
I run that cam and it drives perfectly on the low end. I have a habit of keeping RPMs low and chugging the motor under 2500 rpm and there's no problem at all.

Not a big fan of any cam being sold that they don't specifically list the specs for.

The cam is a nice balance between having lope at idle, decent drivabilty and power. Many of the stock bottom end records have been set with ECS cam profiles so they are well proven. I must admit I kind of laugh at the "get a custom cam" thing, what do you think this is, a GM spec? Don't get me wrong, if you have a tunnel ram or a power glide and are looking to make power in a very specific point or to match your combo then, by all means, go for it, we would too. These cams are for the 98% of the people who have our supercharger kit, headers meth/E85 and want all over proven power that sounds good and performs well.

Yeah that type of **** is a no go for me.

I also find the silly gimmick “cam names” laughable or “stage whatever” keep that nonsense and just list the specs and we’ll go from there.

Great cam. My wife can drive the vette to Shoprite in the morning, then I can take it to the track in the afternoon and run 10.2 - 10.4 all day.
