the guy that built my motor put in a comp cams part number 32-312-4 duration at .050 intake is 232 exhaust is 237 lobe lift .3200 for both and the serpation is 108.0 i have no idea whats thats gonna do i hope its gonna be loopy cause thats what i wanted.. i also have 12:1 compression ratio any comments to what this will do for me?

thanks a lot i know enough to get me in trouble but im pretty new to this and dont know all the tech stuff

 

I think your engine will have a rough idle with lope, no low end torque, lots of higher RPM power, no vacuum for power brakes, and burn gas like crazy. Are you sure about the compression ratio? I don't think even 93 octane will work for you, unless you retard the timing WAY too much to make the engine have any power. Whay other parts do you have in your engine? Which engine do you have? That cam you picked isn't even listed in any of the catalogs I have, but I'm pretty sure that's WAY too much duration for a street driven vehicle. What is the engine in?

 

If you wanted a large cam you got a huge cam and if the lift is what you told me that means you have .554 gross lift. I am putting in a 265 DEH comp cam with a gross lift of .510 intake and .526 exhaust and duration of 211 intake and 223 exhaust. With a lobe lift of .295 intake and .304 exhaust. My comp is going to be around 9 to 1 are you sure your comp is going to that high. If your comp is that high were are you racing it. Also what motor are you running 351c/m or a 400.

hey, thats what i want.

 

its a 400 motor with 351c pistions the motor man said it would bring the compession up to 12:1 even more if i got the closed chamber heads but I got 351c 4v heads instead cause as it was i thought i was gonna be nutty on gas. So i will prolly have to run super gas plus octane bost? if you go to comp cams website and do a search for part #
32-312-4 its on there i guess it was a custom ground cam this is what the cam card looks like exactly

well this sould work nice for my mud toy then i just put the motor in and ordered the last set of little parts to get it back on the road and i will see just how bad this monster runs thanks you guys for your times

 

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 07-May-02 AT 06:04 PM (EST)]With that cam, you'll need a high stall converter if you have an automatic, and you'll need some serious gears in the rear end. The bigger your tires, the higher numerical ratio you'll need. You probably know that though. Your low end torque will be virtually non-existent. If the motor is built to take it though, that thing is gonna haul butt at higher revs.

 

the cam manufactur said that the "power-range" will be from 2200-6500RPM i dont know this yet because the motor hasnt been turned over.. i hope shortly it will i bought a TCI converter becuase it is a auto a sat nigh specil thats what TCI told me to get after like an hr on the phone with them im hoping thats enough stall i was thinkin about a much higher one like TCI street fighter with a 3000stall but i guess they said no so hopefully this will go good time will tell is all i can say

thanks boyz for all theinfo
ill keep ya updated on how she runs when she goes on her 1st run

 

 

I was reading this OLD posts about when you had your engine built. It was a 400 for your truck. You used a Comp cam part number 32-312-4.
How did it run?
I really would like to know what it idled like. Did it have much lope at idle?
Please explain all aspects of the cam good and bad. Thanks.
