Edit forgot cam specs: RD D @.050 @.200
276 221 134
It degreed at 108 has .510 lift with 1.5 rockers pretty mild probably close to what we used to call a 3/4 race cam, it was ground for a tounament ski boat that anothe fellow was putting together he needed a lot of bottom and mid range to tow 8-12 skiers. It makes just over 65 @WOT and cruise at 40 with very good range, one day it would make a good tender on a yacht.

I talked to comp cams today,they said to use at least a 218/[email protected] (#12-262-4) maybe a little more lift,I sent a cam request to cam motion today,I will see what they say,I used them when I did a ford 306 and had VERY imporessive results,I hope whatever I do would be worth the time to pull the boat and bring it home for a week to do a cam swap and get it back in by the next Fri.!!!
