I have an 8CM cam in my '51 Ford. The new engine I put in performs much better than the previous one did, but it has better heads, better carburetion, and better ignition, plus the old one was a little tired. According to the aforementioned Tilden Technologies information, it has better numbers than an 8BA cam (.330 lift vs .307). Tilden (at least from what I can see) has no information on an EAB or EAC cam. I for one, would like to see it. (I would expect an EAC to be "better" than an EAB, just like a 8CM has better numbers than an 8BA.)
