I haven't tried one, but I just looked at the specs and I think it is way too small a cam. What heads, intake, carb are you going to use? Are you going with headers and what trans and rear gear ratio?

I just put 2 and 2 together and I take back what I said about the cam being way small, I was looking at a different cam than the ones you are considering. And I'll modify what I said in the other thread: after looking at all the specs and knowing a little more about your set up, I think the CCA-35-243-4 is perfect.

You're working backwards as far as choosing a cam. You don't build an engine, then build the car around it. JMHO. Converters are another example. Same deal applies. Call Coan, B&M, TCI, and they're gonna ask you more questions than you can answer. I know your question was about a generic Comp cam, but there are better choices out there. JMO.

Not to sound too harsh there Pete, but your post said a whole lot of nothing. No "news you can use" in it.
