I was sufing around the internet and came across these two Crane cams that I've never seen before. Anybody here familiar with them? I'm not really considering either one, but the price is in hydraulic flat tappet territory.

yeah, but they both look to small for the mods in your sig.

 

I agree 100%. I wasn't actually considering either one, but I had never seen an LS1 cam that small and was wondering if anyone had ever used one.

 

i used a 210/218 once in a A4 car, and it pulled strong from 1500-5500. But the car was mainly stock. Those cams would be best suited for a truck and mildly stock cars.

 

That's what I figured. They seem like they would do well in a truck for towing and the like. I'm sure the bottom end is killer! Although, I'm not sure it would be worth the hassle of swapping one in.

 

Most of the stock Crane Cams have 5 deg adv ground in, like the ones below. I don't like this much adv in a cam.
