Need the lobe centerline & seperation on the cams.

Dang it,oldand tired beat me to it! He's right. The timing of the lobes are paramount on a NOS cam,more so than any other number.

114.0 both on first and 112.0 both on second

jamez74 02-19-2012 11:43 PM

and compression is somewhere between 12.5 and 13

Toss up, I wish the second cam had the 114. Dave

ok. but what should i order then? have any recommendations?

oldandtired 02-23-2012 05:54 AM

Personally I would go with cam #1. You can always move up as you have the compression ratio to support either cam.

maxpower671 02-23-2012 08:49 PM

like #1 as well

jamez74 02-28-2012 11:21 PM

Thanx guys!
Comp cams suggested this on. I think i will go with my old no 1 cam for this year and next year will order a new one:


Duration @ .050 282/298
Lift with 1. Rockers .806/.758
LSA 114
