318 Torque cam

He he he, thats funny.

I'd stay away from the 110 c-lined cams for idle quailty and more cylinder pressure since the 110 and narrower is designed to bleed of the compresion.
The Crane is on a 112 and stock cams go from 114 - 116 on the sb Mopars. They get wider in other car company's engines.

I'm just curious what is the reason to grind a cam that would bleed off compression?

The more compression the more horsepower/torque so why would that be done?

The cam I've got in my 273 would work good I believe. It is a Summit cam (I've been told that Crane grinds their cams) part #SUM-6901. Cost $100 with lifters.

Intake lift .441
Exhaust lift .441
Duration at .050 is 218
RPM range 2000-45000
Lobe Separation 114 <--- notice this

I don't know why they have the starting RPM at 2000 because it seems that it is in before 2000.

I've always been intrigued by Hughes cams. They have low duration with high lift cams. I've always wanted to run one of those.
