Why in the hell would your order something if you don't even know what it is?

All I can tell you is that it's not an Extreme Energy grind.

They dont always have to be xtreme energy lobes to run quick! look at me! :D I cant tell you what cam it is either though.

[badbird02]

the specs are
i-.517
e-.498
lobe separation-112

the grind is a little off..maybe they provided the wrong info..because the part# is the extreme energy naturally aspirated cam:

not a bad choice for not knowing what you were buying..you're gonna want to get a set of spring and retainers for that

[badbird02]

and heres the kicker igot it for 150$ oh and thanks for the correct info.

You fell into the trap!

I have that cam. I hope you didn't want to go faster with it, because you won't.

The specs:

.498 .480
200. 206 @.050
108 IC
112 LSA

WIth that cam, headers, catback, and CAI, I got a miserable 188rwhp and 218rwtq. For the hassle of installing a cam, that one isn't worth the meager power gain.

Granted I do have heavy forged internals, which will decrease my overall power output, I still doubt you will make over 200rwhp with it.

[badbird02]

what valvetrain components will help with this cam?

[98Camaro3.8]

You could get 1.7 rockers for more lift, but you're still stuck with 200/206 duration. Not the best specs for a cam if you're looking for power.

would probably make a better nitrous cam..not sure

[badbird02]

hey that sounds kinda good to me ive been considering nitrous

[mike malloy]

that is baby cam.. i prefer the 4x4 lobes, but that's just me..

hell what do i know

[1DangerousV6]

yeah..the specs are pretty small..but it favors exhaust which is why it would be ok for nitrous i guess..i'll sell it..hope to make a profit..and check out zzperformance.com, intense-racing.com, or compcams.com..their extreme energy cam..third one down in the online catalog for our cars..would be a pretty good nitrous cam..there are also a couple really good ones on zzperformance.com

[badbird02]

where could i get the 1.7 rockers?

[mike malloy]

when i had my 206/216, that was a good n2o cam. hell compcam stole most of the specs from us pioneers back in the day.
