Got my cam from Schneider that I ordered back in October. Uh... that's 7 months ago. Cost was $183.00 shipped.
Glad I didn't try to rebuild the motor, yet. I think I will definitely wait until I accumulate ALL of the parts first.
Here's the specs as promised (in
red) with a few other cam specs from their web site.
The tech guy told me that the cam isn't listed, but it's between the 16202 and 16203, so that's where I put it in the list -
Lift@.050(I,E) is 0.280 0.280. This with a 1.7:1 Rocker Ratio. They recommend dual springs - P/N: 6500(outer) and 6600(inner).
__P/N:__Grind____Dur(I,E)____Dur@.050(I,E)_____Lift(I,E)______LSA____Int(Opens,Closes)____Exh(Closes, Opens)
16202: 262-82H...262...282.....208.......220.....0.464...0.490....110
44660: 270-80H...270...280.....214.......218.....0.480...0.480....110......27BTDC...63ABDC......28ATDC...72BBDC
16203: 135H.......270...270.....218.......218.....0.460...0.460....110
16204: 280-90H...280...290.....220.......230.....0.540...0.540....110
What do you think? Is this a good cam for the street? Or is it too much? I can't remember the RPM range for this particular cam and Schneider doesn't list that data on their web site. Hopefully, the idle isn't too rough. heh-heh.
A similar cam from Comp Cams(P/N 14-123-4) "Good combination of torque and power. Performance street and Marine." Another cam with less duration(P/N 14-119-4) "Good torque and power with smooth idle. Strong increase over stock cam."
Higher compression and some head work is probably needed - nothing radical, though. I'm looking for performance, not economy, but I do want decent driveability on high octane pump gas.
