  • Largest 3.4 Cam?

    What is the largest 3.4 cam that you guys know of, or would reccomend. I think the largest i see is the 226-236 Comp on Full throttle's, or the 228* 228* by lunati.

    Here's my cam card.

    I do know that Crane makes a bigger one with a power band of 2800-7000 or something like that. I don't remember the rest of the numbers.

          The CompCam custom grind is also a huge cam. If you want to go big, it will have to be a custom grind. The shelf cams are not made to be too radical.

            How does it run with that cam in it? Idle?
            Low end?

              </font>[/QUOTE]Runs good. It has a little roughness in the idle but not too bad. Driveability is good. It has plenty of low end torque and responses great to nitrous. :D I will be getting the larger one this winter but it will be a custom grind. They don't make a roller version. I found the specs for it:
              -248/258 duration
              -534/555 lifts w/ 1.6 ratio rockers

                        What is the benefit of having a higher exaust for instance the 226*236* on the comp, rather than the 228* 228* on josh's lunati. Also can someone explain why people use the split ratio rockers when they run the comp (226*-236*) cam, like dakota used. Which cam will i be better off with assuming i want a lopey, mean sounding idle that doesn't sound like it's going to stall out. Also, if anyone can find other cam sound clips of like crower, can you send em. Josh, i would really like to hear yours, lol can you post a link, or even wolf? thanks guys

                          If you do a custom grind, you should really base them on your flow numbers. Getting a cam that is matched for someone else's numbers will not always offer the best performance. Also, just because it's a high lift or high duration cam does not make it the best for your application.

                            Why don't you guys seem interested in mechanical cams? With a little tuning, they will run better than any hydraulic cam.

                              exactly.. with a little tuning.. since we have no tuning options a little tuning it pretty hard to get
