Stroker specific cams?

They can use lobes and timing to benefit a Stroker because I say Rod ratio makes a difference. So do a ton of other factors. What those things would be, I can't say for sure. That's why I always say call a company that will custome grind something for you. EFI is going to make it tough from what I know. IMO, when you are induction limited (and you are) you need to have the LSA be tighter than what you would run. From what I understand, EFI doesn't like that. That's what I'm told. That's why I'd call someone (more than one...Id call 5 or 6 and see which guy I get on the best with) and let them custom grind something for you.


Also, there is a bunch of hype by big cam grinders. One of them is when they started marketing cams with different durations for different cylinders. Snake oil.

Also...look at what Comp offers for "street" solid roller cams. Most of them are nothing but hydraulic roller lobes that they use a tight lash on.
So there is some marketing monkey motion out there. The biggest being the 110 LSA as the de facto number. It's wrong for most everything except Comps bottom line.


As far as the EFI goes, Edelbrock recommends a minimum of 8 inches of vacuum at idle, and have a 3 settings for cam based on duration. It seems fairly forgiving to a point, but I want to keep the duration under [email protected] for good measure. I am spending some time on their forum to see what other users are running for cams.

What is interesting is Comp uses 114 lobe separation and 8 degree duration separation on the linked cam. I'm not sure if it has more to do with it being a stroker cam, or that the XFI lobes require it. The research continues.
