Cam Choice

fishy68

If I was going to go with a Comp Cam I might pick up the hydraulic lifters some where else and avoid the Comp lifters all together.

I once used a set of sealed power lifters on a comp cam and had no problem. Adam says theirs only 2 places making lifters. Don't know about that but if it's true the Comp lifters must not be sealed power made.

If you read the top posts by me I was amazed by the solid cams that Comp offers over my hydraulic Mopar cam. The Comp Cam XS268S would gain me 7 more HP and 21lbs of TQ!

A solid will allmost everytime make more power over a hyd. That's possibly where yoru seeing the gain. Then again it could be that the 268s just works better with your heads. That's what it's all about. Matching the cam to the air flow potential of the induction system.
