Default Give me cam suggestions for 422. Something different..

I'd like to see what everyone thins would be a good cam for a 422. Streetability and all that doesn't matter. Is the S1 the about as good as you're going to get, or are there other combinations that would be hetter? I want to try something new and get more HP. Thanks.

A nice custom grind solid roller would be good. 246/242//614/591/112, you said "Streetability and all that doesn't matter" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Hmmm. That look interesting. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Would that work as a hydrolic cam though? I'd love to have a solid roller but $$ is a prob.

I currently have a MMS hydrolic custom grind of a 236/236//591/591/112 in my 383. It lopes like a SOB from hell, but it works for me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> A 422 would tame it down a lot I think.

We're going to be putting a 244 240 on a 112 XER cam in a 414 pretty soon, I think it will work awesome...

yeah Beeler, listen to Brian.

I bet you wouldn't break any springs with a stock cam.

You want my 2001 cam? LOL.

Something different?? How about something like the Comp 206/212 .515/.522 on a 112?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

If nothing else, you'll be the only one on your block with that cam in a 422...
