Who runs a low lift/medium duration cam?
Curious. All the cams I see on the market are fairly
high lift (.570-.6xx) small and large duration. What happened
to the cams like COMPS Extreme RPM cams? Whatcha got,and
how does it run?

Small cams can work good when matched to a set of heads, but most don't want a small cam when you can get a good size one(that might make more power)that idles decent. I'm saving my ($200 used)small cams for budget builds, I've got a old MTI B1 cam and a comp 269 cam that'll work nice in a 5.3 or 6.0 for my truck.

I have a comp xer281 232/234 with 598. lift 112
I think its on the medium/large side.
I got it for 250 used, love the sound and makes good power.
Alot of guys say its a old technology cam and needs a advance.
I made 410hp 369 with the cam, headers, kooks cats ,10%udp and a porter t.b. on slowhawks mustang dyno .

No problem. I don't really have much more info on it, other than the specs were chosen by East Side Performance. I believe they called it the ESP1 cam. I believe it was ground +2. I actually bought the cam used from a guy who worked there and they gave me the info (this was back in 2005).
Later versions of their cam had less duration (224/228 or something in that range) and more lift (.581 range).
After installing high-flow cats, 12-bolt rear, HD driveshaft, nitrous tune, and an underdrive pulley, the car put down 400/363 on the same dyno (Dynojet). I was still hitting 117 mph at the same track, in similar conditions though, I believe due to my learning the car and shifting better. (After switching to 28" tires for the track, I never trapped over 115.x mph with that setup).
I recently put a set of Trickflow 215's on it and went with 1.8 rockers at the same time, so the current lift is in the .583 range.

Here's a cam I did a little while back on a budget build. We got the cam cheap. 222/230 .560/.540 114 cam. Picked up 48rwhp through stock mufflers. Would be closer to 60rwhp through a good exhaust.

I'm running a Speed Inc SI5 (231/237 .589/.595 112lsa) in my '00 m6 SS. I love it, great street manners, nice idle, and makes great power. My car made 405rwhp and 376rwtq thru a 9" and has run a best cam only E.T. of 11.23@121.
