which cam

[bszopi]

Nope, the only roller engines are the 93+ aluminum head engines (3100, 3400, etc).

crane 272. good power, great economy and sounds like a lumpy cam. easy fo tuning

how are going about the 4.3 setup? just using the 4.3 tb with injector? most of the 90 degree v6 parts are not interchangable. are you fabricating?

I thought the 3.4 camaro's were roller engines?

[QUOTE=Superdave;358606]Comp's 260 cam is a single pattern, you'd usually only run a single pattern is your exhaust ports flow more than 80% of the intake ports.

so would you want to buy a cam to keep the cfm's at 80% flow (if you know the flow numbers of your heads)?

Comp's 260 cam is a single pattern, you'd usually only run a single pattern is your exhaust ports flow more than 80% of the intake ports.. which isn't the case on iron heads.

I had a Comp roller cam in my T/A and i was never impressed, the fuel pump lobe wiped off while using a stock pump and it deffenetly never performed like they promised. 240 WHP/320 TQ with their $1100 retro fit roller setup, headers, single plane intake, 750 carb and some light headwork.

Just my personal prefrence I've owned a 60* cam and a v-8 and didn't like neither one. Owned a comp x-trem energy for a v-8 and loved it

Crane makes those cams for gm but personaly I don't like Crane I'm a Comp man

whats wrong with crane? is it just your personal prefrence or you've had bad experinces?

[ezrollin]

GMcratemotors.com has the 3.4 cam for $116 but don't see the springs or retainers listed.

Where can you find the Crane cams at. All I can find is stuff for V8's

i had my mind set on the crane h-260-2, but i noticed that the GM cam part # 12364059 has the same number. summit sells the crane cam for $205, gmpartsdirect.com sells theirs for $150. whos would you rather buy?
how about valve springs, push rods, timing set. can i use stock replacements or is it really necessary to get crane parts.?

[Superdave]

here are some other cams that would work for you...

Hi there!

The 260 is almost identical to the 3.4 crate cam, except the LSA is 112 vs. 107 for the crate cam. The 260 should, on paper, have slightly less peak power but a more broad powerband than the crate cam, and again on paper, should be more friendly to the TBI in stock tune. Either would be a good choice for a driver.

thank you superdave

[Superdave]

yes it has a 700r4. what should one expect to pay for a torque converter like the one you mentioned? will the 260 be fine with the stock coveter.
im not even sure what a higher stall coverter does, or what lock-up and non-lockup means.

the 260 cam would work fine with the stock setup..

I picked up a 2800 stall converter for my old Trans Am for like $100 on ebay a few years ago, it was for a TH400 and brand new. Very nice unit.

here is some stuff on torque converters.. much better than i could explain it.
