Cam question...

A buddy of mine has a cupple Roller cams. There both nitrous cams Witch is better? And will I have any piston to valve issues? The heads are 95cc with nothing takin off them..
300in 310ex
718 Lift intake and exhaust.
The other one is
289in 312ex.
882int. 825ex. lift

I have Speedpro dome pistons with large valve reliefs cut into them... Dont think Ill have a prob but just thought i could get some good insite... I dont want to have to pull a head to check. But might have to lol..

Get one ground for it and stop trying to throw something missed matched together.......

If I can buy something from him for way less and it work i will....

X2 Jeremiah .... give Lem a call and give him your spec's --- he can make that thing scoot

What does it cost to get a cam done? If I do that should I go ahead and go to a roller set up or will I be fine with the flat tappit?

Jeremiah I think you would be better off with a roller cam then you do not have to worry about lobes going flat on break in...........


Randy

You need to step back and stop trying to be cheap on the parts that make power...... a good custom roller is in the $350-400 range and will match what you have.

But hey its your money and you apparently don't have a problem doing things more than once to try and get it right....... So good Luck.

I seem to be doing pretty damn good so far... doing what I can with what I got... Thats all..

Jeremiah,
you are doing great !!! but they are just trying to steer you in the right direction ...thats all ... you got to keep an open mind here man , some of the guys here are just calling it like it is ( no sugar coating)

why would you want to use a cam thats going to get you more out of the ball park ...... call a cam designer and let them custom grind you a cam ( Lem Evans ).... but for know keep what you got and get the tune leaned on and you will make great gains .....

this stuff shouldnt be stressfull ....have fun !!!

Coug:
I've never seen an .882" lift flat tappet camshaft ... LOL.

There roller cams...... LOL If you would have read the FIRST line you would know that.......

I would think from your two quotes, you could see how someone could get confused???? But, maybe not....

Are you certain the two used camshafts are nitrous cams? Without knowing what certerline they were ground on, it is difficult to tell what they are from the limited information you posted. How much is he asking for the used camshafts? Lifters included? Like everyone else, I think you would be money ahead to get a camshaft custom ground for your application, rather than buying a "bargain" from someone that may or may not work. But your money, your choice.......you ask for advise and then argue about it when the answer doesn't suit you............

Noone is argueing. I post to get some good advice but someone always has to be a smart ass. But yes I AM going to stick woth the combo I have and tune it for all it has in it. But yes I am looking to buy a little better head to compare to and at the same time I will be getting a custom cam done for my combo. Thanks everyone!

jeremiah, i know exactually what ur going through i was the same way ask for advice then everybody throws out bombs. but one thing i have learned from the guys on here their not trying to be dicks. in the end almost everyone of them have been pretty darn close to what they said. i agree nobody suger coats anything around. i have wasted thousands of dollars trying to do it the cheap way it don't work for the long haul. just set back think about it and do it right...good luck and thanks alot to all the knowledgable and helpfull guys on here...eric
