Huge area under the curve and is much happier with a drop in spring. Also much easier to tune than a T-Rex.
Hey Pat

How about we meet in the middle?

235/242 .653/.612 110+4 LSA

how well would this cam react with a 383 and patriot cnc ls6 heads? Although i think the .653 lift might be too much.
My other option is to go 240/242 .609/.610 XER lobes on 112 + 4

Big cams are not very street freindly.

I see a lot of people here saying this without saying why.

Why would it not make sense to run this much lift? As long as the head doesn't backup, wouldn't it be more beneficial for the valve to spend more time open in the .300-.500 range? Even if the intake starts lopping off flow over a certain CFM, the longer it's flowing that CFM, the more power it will make, correct?

duration is one thing people, lift is another. quit concentrating on the peak numbers all the time, and focus on mid-lift air flow and shorter duration cams. your engine will like it better.

No. Mule's are sterile. You'd be shooting blanks with that cam.

It's funny, on my work computer, all the thread title shown was Patrick G's Donkey Dick..." I was like, wtf?! Are these going to be some stolen drunk photos or something?!

But a mule is cross bred between a donkey and a horse. Thus a mule has a larger dick than a donkey. Wouldn't you rather be hung like a horse and be sterile (shooting blanks). Than have a little donkey dick and making kids?

I know! Compcams can call them the new Horse Dick Series cams...there.

But maybe the larger horse dick cam is less streetable than the smaller donky dick cam. So were back to square one.

Just call it the Donkey Dick cam. Patrick had it correct to begin with

the wrongness of this analogy.

This has turned into a biological thread... about *****. C'mon guys, this subject seems to govern our thoughts more than it should

Bringing back from the dead. Anyone ever run this cam. I've been wanting to try something very close to this. I think this cam was designed to clear stock pistons. I would use it with about 11:5 compression. Should make killer under the curve power.

I have never seen a dyno graph or track times for this camshaft, but im interested in the results also. Maybe Patrick G will step in with some insight on results for this cam or something close to it.
