Re: Potvin 3/8 cam ?
Before I became a suporter of the L-100 cam, I had run quite a fer cams in both a racing and street environment. At first look at the timing numbers I told the customer that the cam was to hot for a street engine.. He said he was told it would work just fine, so I installed it in a 276 block with Kong heads (7:1CR) a single 94 carb and with less than 10 miles on the engine headed for York Pa. The preformance of that engine in a 5500 lb ambulance on the street was fantastic, and the sound was perfect. When we opened the hood and people saw the engine for the first time, they were disapointed, thinking it shuld have been a HEMI. Today, I have no idea why this cam runs as well as it does. The numbers on the card tell me it shouldn't. I've installed dozens of them and nobodys ever asked me to remove them. So I guess you just have to try a bunch of them and pick the one that suite you best,
