Hey guys. Humor me for a minute.
Do me a favor. Little homework assignment
Look in any 70s FSM and find the specs for the 360-2 stock cam.
Hang onto that for a minute.
NOW go look up all the same specs for a COMP 252 for our small blocks.
You will see that they are IDENTICAL. In every way possible except 1.
One has an overall lift of 0.410. both intake and exhaust. The other has a lift of 0.425 on both valves.
For the difference in cost of the melling stock replacement I can buy 2 sets for less than 1 COMP 252. Big enough difference that losing a while 0.015 in overall lift doesn't mean a hill of beans.
