What would this old cam be good for?

[oliver]

Got an old solid flat tappet cam that i found, the cam card specs are

296/300 @ .012"
250/244 @ .050"
.375"/.344" Lobe Lift
.017"/.018" Hot Lash w/1.5 rockers
105 LSA

that would this cam be good for? Seems real weird on the duration and lifts. Its also got a real tight lsa. Would probably sound real wicked at idle.

Whippin' at the drags man, high RPM of course!

 

[oliver]

but why so much more intake lift, and less exhaust duration at .050"? its backwards of most split lobe cams i have seen.

 

[Woods74]

Because it cam. *rimshot*

 

[GhostFish]

I'd use it as a personal security device...

I know no help

I kinda want to, but it might not be very streetable with this cam. lol

 

[pishta]

Thats a pretty big lift, 562/516. Oregon cam could regrind it to something more streetable for around 70 bucks. Or gun drill it and make it a gearheads table lamp.

 

[BigBlockMopar]

Use it to eat lifters and lobes like no tomorrow...

x2. Looks like it's meant to be used with a optimized exhaust system (meaning good race headers and not much else).

Party pooper. lol

 

[moper]

Not me! I like the sound of the oldschool Modifieds...lol.

 

[RustyRatRod]

It would be a total badass on the street, you'd just need some unstreetable stuff to go with it. lol
