Default Re: Cam shaft choices

One the 280 I have I milled the EAB heads .040 thousands, Installed a used gasket and had to clear up an area around the quench area with a Dremmel To get the .045/.050" clearance. The EAB heads won't clear the L-100. I do this at a 5 degs angle which removes very little material.. Having dynoed several engines with the L-100 a Mild 276 got 135 hp and a built 284 got 175, Takes more than a cam to make HP.
