Hey fordeverpower

I am not sure of the hp ratings as i am looking into that cam myself. I was just curious as to whether you could use stock rockers or if you have to use the adjustable rockers. I to have heard good things of this cam and am anxious to get started.

It pulls a good distance in the RPMs
From like 1200 on up to around 6k
I love mine
Sounds good, runs good, and still can use stock rockers
I picked up a bunch with the cam
But I changed to headers, 4 barrel stock manifold and a 750 when I did this

Andy is correct. I use the 901 myself, pulls good, smooth idle, all around friendly cam. I have adjustable rockers.

35 to 45 horsepower over stock isn't bad.
I added maybe 100 tops out of mine
With the 2 to 4 barrel manifold swap,
Headers, Cam, Better heads (ported etc) and a 750 holley

I was reading another post and they claimed that the crane 901 was a fairly mild cam. Whats the next cam up from the 901?

The next cam up is the Crane 343941. It's the one I'm using on my 390 build.

Is the FE page, but I don't see any horsepower claims.

The stock 390 cam is very small. The 901 should add both low end torque and at least 45HP. Your valves will open faster, farther and stay open just a little longer.
