Getting ready to buy a new cam so the motor can go back together. I'm going to replace it with a stock grind but was wondering about the difference in where you buy them from. Pelican has a stock webcam for $130.00, GPR sells an aftermarket or reground cam (their words) for $63.00. Differences? Recommendations? Thanks.

If it has a stock cam, even though it has alot of power it is probably in a very narow band...
Adding a camshaft with a tad more compression will give better results... I tested the Squishy pistons and they failed my testing.... I really think that you had good weather at that dyno the day you went! Not to take away from your engine but most of the time we barely see 100HP from that combo at the flywheel! |
