Just installed one of these in a 4.8. Wondering what kind of cranking compression people are seeing with this cam. I had to adjust the timing set quite a bit to hit the card. I managed 1 degree retarded from the card, but I'm only seeing 145psi or so of cranking compression. Last year I ran the isky triple 12 and saw around 160. Curious if this is "normal" for this cam.

The 4.8 was a spare motor and I sold the trip 12 last year. I was looking for a mean idle, low overlap cam that would work "OK" with mild boost. So I tried the edelbrock 2215. Figured I'd try putting this in the truck section because I see these cams primarily run by the truck crowd.

Edelbrock is a 220/220 @ 111 .510 lift.
Tripple 12 was a 212/212 @ 112 .565 lift.


Sounds mean anyway!

 

nice set up
