A 252 or 260h would be perfect, and I just happen to have one of each for sale in the B/S/T section

Hmmm, I might just have to check that out.......


Thanks for your input guys I was leaning toward the CC 260h cam, but I was worried about tuning issues with this cam, but now it is clear to me that tuning is not required for this cam.

the h260 or whatever i think will run on a stock ECM. the 272 will need tuning though.

There is no more "272" shelf grind as far as I know since Crane is gone (but I can get one for you ). The 252 and 260 both will run fine on the stock tune even with 1.6 rockers, but will benefit from tuning.

as long as you're not expecting to run something radical, tuning wouldn't be "required" though it would benefit more than just the cam.

Well its time for a question. First off, I need to replace my LIM gaskets as well as my valve cover gaskets, but here is the thing......my car has 245500 miles on it and doesnt burn any oil and doesnt have a tap to be heard. With that said while I'm down as far as the lifter valley why not go ahead and change the cam bearings, lifters and camshaft?.......245k mi is alot of miles for a stock cam and I KNOW it has to have some wear.

So here is the question......What would be the recommended cam for my bone stock 3.4L? I dont mind a lopey idle as long as tuning is not involved (it would be a hassle to have to tune a OBD1.5 car or even convert it to OBD1) I would rather not go back with a stock cam. The timing set is brand new so that is one thing that i will not have to replace. Pushrods and rockers should still be fine unless a cam swap will require them to be changed (which I would rather not have to do)

So let me have it guys voice your opinions.
