Cant understand my cam specs
 
Well what can you cam gurus say about this cam?

intake : 247 / .607lift
Exhaust: 240 / .607lift
LSA: 114
Recommended intake centerline: 110

has 4 degrees of overlap and is a lunati grind. :hmmm:

What's duration rated at, .050 or .006?

Are you sure the intake and exhaust arent mixed up?
Usually blower cams have more exhaust duration than intake.
Say a 240/247 .607/.607 114 lsa instead of your listed 247/240 .607/.607

actually it has no advance ground in, but is recommended to be installed 4 degrees advanced.

Agreed, but the specs arent mixed up which is why I cannot understand them lol. Specced by Ed Curtis, I wanted a cam that peaks in the 6200-6300 range since ill shift at 6500rpms, everything here is based on the motor's cubic inches, compression ratio, boost, exhaust, intake, head flow and so on. Still cant understand anything though :sigh:

I can see that...missed "recommended"

But where do you get 4 degrees of overlap on a 240s at .050 cam? I dont have an overlap calulator handy, but it should be much more than 4.

ayousef 12-19-2011 02:40 PM

Well I don't know either intake opens 2deg btdc and exhaust closes 2deg atdc which makes it 4.

Specced based on too many details however and this is one of the reasons Im asking about the cam cause I can't understand it at all lol

Pretty odd cam choice....

Very low overlap which is good for mileage, but I doubt you care about that on your setup. Big duration for a truck and especially a supercharged big engine truck, and the reverse split for a roots supercharger is very odd. Lift is fine, maybe leaving a little on the table depending on what heads you have. LSA sure is tight for a blower...

Sounds like this cam is specd for high peak power, but I dont think it would work well in your application., but what do I know...
