Whats the predicted Torque specs/rpm ??  
 

I stopped trying to pick cams two decades ago.  Call Comp, Crane, or one of the other grinders.  Tell them everything about the engine, car, and intended use.  Let them get you the right cam.  They log thousands of dyno hours a year testing their products.  Even most engine builders can't compete with that, and even the best ones chose a cam in consultation with a cam company.  I'm not a fan of one size fits all cams, and you never really know how dated the technology in the catalogs is, but they do.  A hot cam for one head may be a terrible one for another, etc.  Even if they custom ground you a cam you're talking an additional $100-$150.  Money well spent when you consider even a budget engine is going to end up in the $5,000 range. 

I don’t pick cams either. I talked with Brent Lykins about mine and he came up with a custom roller for me on the first build. I will using it in the next motor too. 

you gonna splurge for a roller or stick with a flat tappet?

Good advice if you could get a timely response. Last time I asked Comp Cam for advice I got te response about a month after the motor was in the car and running. Of course it was a lot different grind than I chose. I was trying to be conservative.

Call Crane.  That's who I use, because they actually have tech people working.  Last time I called Comp I left a message.  After a day I called Crane, spoke to a tech immediately, and Comp called me back about a week after I already had the cam Crane shipped me.  I told them that their customer service was severely lacking, and was told that they were "busy" and apologized, but I know that's not the case because there are a million posts out there about the exact same thing with them.  Thier products have always been good and they have a good reputation because of it, but I simply won't use a company that puts such little emphasis on customer service.

Called Crane Cams. Got a recommendation.  Tryed to find it on Summit and Jegs but couldn't.  Looked up the same specks in a comp cam and found it. Feel kinda bad,  but it was in stock at Summit in Arlington so went and picked it up.  Xe 268 H.

No roller. Original motor.

You’re making great progress Steve. It seems like there’s  alway something that pops up and gets in the way!!

Great progress!

I always have four letter words that pop up...work and snow😂

Snow. That’s funny. Never had that problem around here.

Snow is a real problem for us in the don't WORK clan. COLD is another 4 letter word and goes in tandem with SNOW. It would be nice to get above 32F one of these days.
