Cam/Spring Question
Cam/Spring Question I'm going to run a Joe Overton cam specs: (540/540 232/242 109)
My springs have 350lbs of opening pressure. You think thats enough to handle this cam?
I've had some problems with matching the correct spring to this cam before. It was floating the valves around 5500rpm and not reaching even close to its potential. Anyone run a J.O. cam or anything similar?

You need to ask Joe O. what to use. The cam designer knows what valvetrain parts are necessary to work well with the lobes he uses.

Anyone know if either one is on Ls1tech, I'll send them a PM.
Anyone know how I can reach him by phone or e-mail?
I did some searching on google.com and all i came up with was www.lethalefi.com and none of the links worked except for a few, and they didn't show any contact info.
I know Elliots site is eportworks.com or something like that, but I'm sure it doesn't have any info on JO.
