RE: cam profile

That's it Sean. And Gerry's response about the stock GT/CJ/PI cam being too wimpy is pretty well universally accepted as a common opinion. The C6OZ-B is a performance compromise cam. It idles very nicely. Too nice for some of us. It has a decent power range from idle to 5,400 or so. It was a huge improvement over the standard hydraulic FE cam of 1966. I like them so much that I run one in a 390 in my '68 F100 pickup. That's right, a great all around RV cam. But if I was building a modern FE, I don't think I'd select a C6OZ-B.

A suggestion, if you do run one, consider running adjustable rockers thus providing a little more lift with the 1.76 rocker ratio over the non adjust. 1.73. And with those adjustables you can run anti pump-up hydraulics which might provide a little more power in the mid 5,000 RPM range.

I've said it before and I'll say it again right here.....choosing a cam is a very personal process. You've got to really think out what you want and then coordinate the whole engine package.

This thread, so far...
