The Great Cam Chart

admin plz move if you feel it necessary

A lot of information is floating around on these boards about cams. Sure, we all hear about the Crower 403s…alot. There are also some companies out there who do not really “expose” their information as we’d like them to. This chart is to help some of our members compare cams without having to search hundreds of websites. As for where to buy them…I’m not too aware of MANY places…after searching for “cams” in the search option I realized Summit does along w/ some independent online companies, but there aren’t much. The main reason I’m trying to get this going is because I myself am in search of cams. A few of my choices were the Crower 402s, the jg 301s, the Gude stage Is and the Crane stage Is. I want to keep it light (not requiring valvetrain upgrades) and ya know, I’m only expecting 15 or so whp tuned, nothing spectacular. So…without further babbling, here comes the chart…

  1. Stock B18B Cams

  3. Crane Cams Stage I (ACU-257-2S-11)
    Duration: 257 / 263
    Lift: .400 / .388

    Powerband: mid R.P.M. to 6500 R.P.M.
    Springs/Retainers: Works well with stock valvetrain, fresh valvesprings are recommended

  4. Crane Cams Stage II (ACU-261-2S-9)
    Duration: 261 / 267
    Lift: .400 / .388
    RPM Range: 1000 R.P.M. to 7000 R.P.M.
    Powerband: mid R.P.M. to 7000 R.P.M.

    268 deg duration exhaust
    .410’’ lift intake
    .390’’ lift exhaust
    Valve clearance .007 intake and .009 exhaust

…This chart is obviously not complete. I’m hoping more of you would be willing to throw in the specs that are listed up here. I know of the Colt Cams, JG Cams and the Comp Cams and cannot seem to find their specs. Also, places to purchase these cams would be VERY useful. Please do not type archive this until we have a larger sum of information posted up here and the page actually is useful. TIA.

I’ve never heard anything about these cams. How much hp would i get out of them…I’m thinking in the neighborhood of 6-10 hp, but not sure. Would these require any tuning, or would they run fine without tuning?

10

Hardly anything on this list would run fine w/out tuning (i.e. gears/fpr/v or s-afc/etc…) unless you get real lucky and guess the good combination for your gears.

yeah, as matt added, i was going to say that the ITR 00-01 spec have the same lift/duration profile as the CTR’s.

14

can we ARCHIVETHIS?

15

Hey BR, have you been on a dyno yet? I was just wondering what the kind of power those 301’s were adding and are you running on a stock valvetrain.

Nope, no dyno yet. I dont even know if I will be dynoing this engine anyway now. I just may never know…

I am running on stock valvetrain however, but I will be chipping my ECU this week and revving to 7500rpm with it like this. I know that the stock vavletrain should be able to handle that, and if not I have a garage full of LS engine parts :smiley:

If I can get some dyno time I will do it with this setup and post up the details. I have a friend who’s dad owns a dyno so I might just ask for a favor.

Later,
BR

What are you planning on putting in, in place of you LS engine?

:roll: That is top secret information that your prodding at :smiley:
Only a select few on this board will know what I am building until the day that it is unveiled. Sorry, but your gonna have to wait…
