Default FS: Ed Curtis Custom Grind Cam and Pushrods

Let me start by saying that it is a great cam. Its low end torque is AMAZING. I would recommend at least a 2600 stall with this camshaft. Me and another member talked long and hard and decided on this cam for all around streetability, torque, and to get me into the 12s NA. I havent really given this cam a chance to get me into the 12s but i do beleive will go into the 12s with proper gearing, weather, etc.

Due to its tiny base circle, i will not sell the cam without the matching pushrods unless someone steps up and wants the pushrods first. I have been through the whole pushrod length crap and these rods are the correct length for this cam and stock milled heads. I bought ALL of this stuff brand spankin new. PM me for more info or if you have any questions.

Cam- 216*/214* .588"/.561" 110lsa+0 ~8000 miles. (cam card included )
Pushrods- Comp 7.450" pushrods. ~1000 miles.

$350 + Shipping For Both (cam was $450 new and the pushrods were only used for about a month and were $130 new)SOLD


I have another set of 7.400" Comp pushrods. I bought these new at $130 as well. They have about 5000 miles on them.

$80 + Shipping SOLD

THE CAM IS STILL IN THE TRUCK. I WILL PULL IT OUT WHENEVER MY NEW CAM COMES IN WHICH SHOULD BE NEXT WEEK.
Thanks for reading guys!

Beau, what would the effects be using the cam on a stock stall?

Forgive me, but

"amazing low end torque" and it needs a 2600 stall on a RCSB with nice heads?

Something doesn't add up.

When does the torque start to get amazing?

I guess it just sounds like it may be more of a midrange cam for a 5.3.
No doubt it works well, but IMO low end torque starts before 2600rpm.

How does it feel at 1600 rpm locked in OD?

BTW I'm interested

No dyno, Aluminum Driveshaft I am just wanting a bigger cam with more top end. This thing makes some mean-as-**** lowend and midrange but going from a 60 punch doesnt do it for me with my gearing.


KB: I had it on a stock stall for a few weeks before i got all of my stuff together. It was a bit on the anemic side (daily driving) until it got up to 2000rpm and then it would take off. A TB stall would help out a lot. Its powerband is like 2000-6000. When designing the cam, there was an effort to make the most of what the truck intake has to offer and not shift it as high and still make it move like other cams.

Low end in its power band of 2000-6000. I have a vigilante 3000 (doesnt really stall that high) and anywhere off idle is tearing the tires off. I can go from a 25mph and 3/4 throttle it and lose traction all together with 4.10s. It feels like a stock cam at 1600rpm locked in OD, but that would depend on your gearing. In fact, it idled well with my stock PCM.
