RE: We keep killing cams....
By cuzncletus - 07/26/2004 11:28:30 PM; IP 68.220.55.101
I did not check for coil bind. However, I ran a hydraulic with more lift than the solid cams I tried with no problems. In a heavy car without a radical converter, I wanted a solid lift cam for greater lift vs. duration. In all honesty, every time I went down in lift and duration the car seemed to run better though an "illegal contest of speed" with a repeated foe would indicate otherwise. I only took it to the track with the last cam and it ran fairly strong for a street car, especially a heavy one.
I talked with the reps at Edelbrock. They said the springs were good to .600 with the extra .050 recommended for coil bind. I felt I was safely under that. Since I ran 3 hydraulics prior to the conversion I have to believe them.
I only offer these posts as a warning from my experience. Others have had different results and should not be discounted. I'm simply saying what happened to me. I'm pulling the galley restrictors and going back to a hydraulic cam if we can save the block. I can't afford the experimentation I've already done, much less any more in the future. Contrary to this website, Ford may indeed have had "A better idea."
This thread, so far...
