Hi all,

I'm in the midst of a mild 350 build-up and am down to 2 cam choices, one is a Crane, the other is Comp. There are others on the list, but these are shortlisted.

here are the specs:

Crane (114142)

RPM: 2.2-5.2
ADV: 272/284
@50: 216/228
Lift: .454/.480
LSA: 112

Comp: (12-209-2)

RPM: 2.0-6.0
ADV: 275/277
@50: 216/229
Lift: .462/.482
LSA: 110

My target is about 300hp +/- 25 (probably minus!) and I'd like to get at least matching torque at the bottom/midrange.

The crappy (cracky!) heads I'm using are the 624s with 202/160 valves with some very mild cleanup/port matching. Pistons are KBs and good for about 9:1.

At this point I'm more about building the bottom-end up, so the top is more of a budget. I have the 670 Holley SA and a Weiand Stealth intake.

Bottom line question is, after all this.. ahaha. the Crane says it is for computer-assisted vehicles.. but I like the spec.

Q1) Is there something I am missing in the spec or the construction of the cam that I cannot use it for a non-computer setup?
Q2) Any other cam you might recommend for this mild build?

Regards and thanks,
Nigel
