im planning a rebuild here in the next few weeks and i think im gonna get doa's 270 cam that i read about,sounds like a gool lower and mid power band but its a bit spendy

LC cams are around 160-185   and are GREAT

hey are you runnin any muffler on that breakin sound bite of your cam

[79coyotefrg]

it actually had a muffler  on it but the fitting was loose,,  but it sounds just like that with the glasspack on it

i looked at the LC website and they were recomending the cam kit, what all did you buy with yours. do you think the whole kit is necessary, or can you just get the cam itself and be fine?

[79coyotefrg]

kit ??   oh  ok,  the one with the dual springs and titanium thingys,   nope  i had dual springs but they caused too much wear for normal driving,  if you are racing then its a must,  when i was running dual springs  i ran  over 7000 rpm with ease,  Yes  7000,  on the highway in 3rd,  dont ask me how fast i was going cause my speedo only went to 85

my cam is the .460 lift cam,  ,  you do need new rockers,   but you can get them from your Napa

[79coyotefrg]

skinny  which cam did you get ??

[Skinny_Pedal]

i have the efi pro....440" lift. they say it is a smooth idle bug i beg to differ, she has a nice little shake to her.

but when i got the motor it cam the same cam you have...there wasn't time to swap cams so im picking it up next down week. hope i can get up to 7000rpm.


91 super yota go with an lc cam, they have good customer service and fun parts
