Thats right $279.50 !!!

Part# 8426 specs: 232/230@.050, .580/.580lift, 110lsa

I bet this would be a COOL sounding and great power producing cam for stock heads or ported heads. Anybody have any dyno numbers using this cam?

Gunner stated 420-440hp is possible along with a more radical idle using this cam. The overlap and sooner intake closing events sounds cool also.

I remember the older flat hydraulic tappet 280 Compcam version with 230/230 duration @.050, 110lsa. It was the hot ticket in the older conventional street driven smallblock Chevy. It sounded cool also.

first off 280 isnt all that bad.. second, it probably would make decent power but check out all the cams that compare and go from there.

Wouldn't the power band come in sooner with the PP 230 cam compaired to a 236/236 112lsa cam. Idle will also sound veryclose the same with a tad better drivability for the street.

I have been thinking of buying this cam. Intake valve closing point is 41-45 ATDC depending on how much you advance it. So DCR would be OK in 346. Overlap is not too excesive and the exhaust valve would open later than most cams producing good torque. Lift is .580/.580

Any comments?

i started a thread about the same cam just yesterday... sounds like it'd be a great cam, but no matter how much research i do, i can't find much on it... don't think its really gotten out there yet... but i'd love to get one before the price goes up... probably go after it this upcoming week... $540 for the entire cam kit is rediculously cheap!! thats' the cam, springs, retainers and locks...
i can't wait!

The initial testing on this cam was around 415/400 in a 347 engine. It will will need a tune on the computer. It does have a nasty idle.

What kind of lobes does this cam use? Comp or something? Was that with stock heads? Im kind of interested to learn more about this cam why is it so cheap? Thanks

These cams are ground in China. Make sure cam is rifle drilled before ordering.

The lobe profile is from Reed. It is not real aggressive and would be easy on valvetrain. I can't remember if the test had stock heads or not. I don't set Patriot's pricing so I can't answer on the cost.
