Reply to "My Crane Cam Any Good?"

Ron,

this is a nice little street cam, more cam than the cobra jet cam, with the right parts probably make 375 BHP. A good compliment for 2V heads & a Performer intake.

The intake lobe center line is specified at 109 degrees ATDC, the lobe center separation angle is 114 degrees. They got the intake valve closing point (at 0.050") set right at 40 degrees ABC. This cam should have a flatter wider power band that doesn't drop off like falling off a cliff after peak BHP, in other words it should have some decent over-rev, especially if you combine it with good springs, anti-pump-up lifters and some adjustable rocker arms. Advancing the cam about 4 degrees should smooth the idle a little and wake up some more low rpm response.
