Default How Big is your AFTERMARKET cam...Poll

Just want to get an idea of how many people have what size cam <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Edit: Lets base this on the larger of the 2 durations if you run a split duration cam

I'll start. I went from a 221/221 cam (B1) to a MMS229 cam (since cam card specs 230/230 I'm checking BIG cam <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> )

224/228, .581/.588, 114 Custom grind through IRS.

Used to be a "BIG" cam, now it's just a "GETTING UP THERE" cam. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> I still like it though. <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />

More useless information from the "Motor MIA moderator;"

I almost went with a 224/224 .581/.581 Comp cam from IRS before I installed the 226 cam from GTP...

But who the hell cares? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

MMS 224v3 224/224 .566/.566 114. now that 382 All bore is coming 230/237 .544/.544 114. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> I will experiment this cam out with the 382 and hope I can get low 11's out of it n/a. if not I will go with a bit bigger one. I think it might be able to use more lift. we'll see <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
