Couple things, nobody lists cam specs in advertised duration, so list it as duration at .050" instead. Also, we have a for sale section where this belongs [img]smile.gif[/img]

Also, try selling it here!

I have that cam in my engine.

I have made it pretty common knowledge here that it provides very minimal power gains over the stock cam, with a penatly of about 7mpg.

You might have better luck selling it to Pontiac grand Prix owners.

Minimal as in none or minimal as in 15-20HP?

what are the rest of the specs on that cam malice?

I'm thinking of throwing a small cam into my car while my other engine is built.

[malice10985]

It is advertised as:
lift: .498/.480
dur @.050 200/206
LSA 112
IC 108

when I recieved it from comp, the cam card said what texasuperman has posted. When I first installed it, my only mods were intake and Headers/exhaust. It had a slight lope at idle, which sounded cool and make people frightened of me.

When I had it on the dyno, I got 160hp@4800rpm at the wheels out of it. I was in 4th gear, and my speed limiter kicked in at 118mph just like it always does and didn't allow me to rev any higher. A stock 3800 makes 160RWHP@5500rpm, so I would guess(which I don't like to do) that this cam was good for about 190 to 200 RWHP @ redline.

I got my rev limiter raised by intense recently, and I tested the cam to see how high it would make power. It fell flat on its face at 6100rpm. The engine was spinning like crazy and making about 50hp.

It is a good cam for a daily driver, but don't expect 13's out of it.

malice, do u happen to go to KWU? I wouldn't mind checkin out ur car since I'm here at school in North Newton once I get my car out here. Why do u think the cam doesn't make much more power than stock?
