thanks

I've heard of a few people making it work with a mustang speed density computer,but it required a bit of tuning to get the bugs worked out.Personally i'd just get a speed density friendly cam there are plenty of good ones out there.

Cams with longer duration(over 218/224 @ .050) also have problems and some cams with lobe seperation less than 114* can work.

The Crower 15511,Comp XE264HR-14,NX264HR-14,and XE270HR-14 are some of the "hotter" ones.

Crane makes one for a roller motor w/speed density as well, it's Compucam 2020, #444211. RPM range is 1500-5000, duration @.050 is 208/216, lift is .530. I talked to the Crane Tech guys, and they said this is about the only cam they make that will work with S/D. It requires stiffer springs as well, and since the springs Crane recommends are tapered, you have to use their retainers. The spring/retainer/lock set is #44308. -TD
