Lots of options for cams.
By Gerry Proctor - 06/13/2006 7:13:09 AM; IP 137.242.1.50
I suggest that you pick a couple cam companies, call their tech lines and get a recommendation from them.

Comp Cams has a pretty good feel for the street market. I prefer Crane but I think you'll probably do better to focus on Comp. Comp grinds most of their street flat tappet cams with a 110 degree lobe separation angle with makes great off-idle and midrange power without giving up too much on top.

With a 3.91 rear gear, you're going to need to rev more than 5,000 rpm and if you ever stand on it, you get past that rpm pretty quick.

You won't need a fancy rocker set up (adjustable rockers) as long as you keep the lift to around .550 and lower and use standard hydraulic lifters. You see the need for adjustables when lift approaches .600 and/or you use anti-pumpup lifters. You could also use the factory CJ/390GT grind. It's a fair cam but you can do a lot better by today's standards.
This thread, so far...
