Crane Cam?

Has anyone used this Crane Cam in there 300? The part number is CRN-503905 from the summit racing equipment catolog. Heres the link to the website. I just want something a little bit more than stock would this be a good cam to use?

if its the powermax cam then i have it. i swapped it into my 93 300 and it gave it a shot in the ****. i mean, it pulls so much harder through out the powerband and seems like i gained 50hp (realistically probaly 15). this is a torquer cam and will give u a better power range from idle to WOT. also, i have my timing set @ 14 degrees BTDC and it seems to be fine.

I went to the Crane site a while back - searching for the spec's on the 503905 (truck cam). The only thing I found was a cross-reference to their 503901 Powermax.

Optikal - do you still have the box/specs on the 503905? I find it a bit hard to believe that the two cams have the same spec's.

Thanks,

Broncr

Thanks, Chuckman

Looks like the EXACT same specs as the 503901. Oh, the power of marketing...

Unfortunately, I can't get the cam spec card to pull up on the 503905..arghhh.

Got it - they appear to be identical...

You might want to look again. If it's in the Summit Truck section, they list the 503905 under "Cams" - after the "Cam and Lifter Sets".

If you have it somewhere else, WITH LIFTERS, please post where!
