I'm not sure what cam I should go with on my 225 slant six. Basically I have a stock bottom end I've polished my head decked it .060" and done a competition valve grind. I drive this car as a daily driver any suggestions craig_o_connor88@hotmail.com |

I drive this car as a daily driver : any suggestions. We need a little more info. here: What carb.? What exhaust? What is the trans, if an automatic, what converter stall speed. What rear end gear ratio. Sounds like you want a "street performance" cam that gives a little more RPM while not giving-up idle quality and low speed torque. DD |

I drive this car as a daily driver : any suggestions That #3 crane cam looks pretty weak to me. 280* duration with ONLY 218*@50? Shivvy lobe! I thought a 268 Purple Shaft would be a nice size cam in my /6, but you can hardly tell it's there unless you wind it up at WOT. If you want a decent cam, I'd suggest a 268 Purple Shaft if you can find one, or maybe an isky cam like other people have used. You say you polished the head and did a valve job, but did you port it or get someone else to? How about gasket matching? A LOT needs to come out of the exhaust ports just to match the factory manifold. |
