Re: Cleaning out my cams
We all have had a degree of learning by way of cams over the years. My little 258 blower combination on the street ran strong with a Potvin 3/8 super we figured it was making a good 300 HP. Same engine testing in my 3000 pound race car at the 1.5 mile speed trap ran 171MPH at the timers. Another great cam I ran and still have is the Crane R-450 anything over 450 lift would be to big to fit threw the flathead cam bearings so that was the limit from what I know.
Another good choice I used many times was the old reliable L-100 ground using the original
Laterio cam grinder and master. And lastly from the good old days I ran the Potvin 425 ground on the 32 steel cam. Don't know where that one ended up can't find it in my stash of stuff!
