Cam and efi...humm
i called up comp cam and asked for a cam that would have realy low end TQ and they told me that it would have to be custom ground. i asked them about a cam that i was looking at earlyer, part # 35-413-8 and they said that that wouldnt work with efi cause there wasnt enought lob sep. i didnt think that materd with maf.. is there anyother cam on there from the extreme energy line that will work with efi?

The 92 5.8 blocks weren't roller capable as in, you could drop any off the shelf roller cam in and use 5.0 hardware.
You can change the distributor gear and run a reduced base circle cam, with stock 5.0 roller hardware or get linked roller lifter and a standard cam w/t a different distributor gear.
I wouldn't worry about it and run the flat tappet but thats me. Good luck

I mentioned this previously, do you have an F4TE block? 1993 1/2 and later.
If your 92 351w block is oem then its not roller compatible.
The E cam or any other off the shelf roller camshaft will not work in a nonroller block, unless you get crane retrofit lifters $419 and possibly change the distributor gear, specific to camshaft, if not specific to the cam then your gonna have problems. YOu could opt for a reduced base circle camshaft, change the distributor gear per the cams needs and use the oem 5.0 hardware.
The flat tappet camshaft I recommended previously 35-255-5 (comp cam) is one many of the first generation lightning owners use, it is flat tappet but it is also efi friendly. They report it makes nice low end torque...thats what I have heard as I haven't used it. They refer to it as the hot rod cam.

ok the cam im looking at isnt a roller, ive steered away from that, i was just wondering about the lobe sep and efi for this cam, which is the non-roller equivalant of the roller that i was lookin at.
