good cam? Hello all,
Like the title says basically is this a decent N/A cam for stock bottom end and intake? I dont know much about solid roller cams so hoping you all can help me.
The cam specs are;
Duration - 294 intake 304 exhaust
Duration @ 50 - 264 int.272 ex.
Lobe lift - .414 int. .414 ex.
Lobe separation - 110
Also what would the rpm range be approx if applicable?
Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but I was always told to ask questions if you dont know the answer.
Thanks
Jessie

Yes read directly off cam card its a custom grind and I have springs and lifters for it but got it for a price I couldnt pass up. I have 852 truck heads plan to port but not for this season.
The cam is from comp but other than that like I said dont know much about roller cams so I dont know what kind of idle id be looking at. Possible streetability or rpm range on cam. I got it for my truck for street and pro truck series but id still like to be able to take it around town every once in a while on the weekends but not have it damage anything engine wise or load up at idle.
Thanks for the quick responses

Well, a solid roller acts much smaller than a hydraulic, so you can take like 8-10 degrees off the duration. But even then, it's a humongous cam.
That'd be an awesome cam for a 400+cid

And I don't think it'd love nitrous. It has a ton of overlap for that small of displacement.

New question what would be the best cam for performance but still streetable. As in not hurting the cam by low rpms for around town? With stock bottom end 852 heads ported with 2.0 intake valves spring upgrade and ls6 intake?

I fully understand what you mean. And thanks for the constructive criticism. I have been reading up on roller cams and learning more about them.
