What are the specs on the cam and what is the main purpose of the motor/vehicle?

Check with the cooling system forum for cleaning methods. For engine specific cam information see the dedicated engine forums.

Different engines do better with different cams. Please try your specific engine forum.

From: ida,va.
both of those cam profiles are really more suited to drag racing than to off-roading.The cams you just profiled have their powerbands way too high to be "enjoyable" off road,unless you are talking the occasional "mud pit drag race".You would want an "off road" grind,where the power and torque is down low.(usable torque).Go to the small block forum,they can help u there.
