Thank you for this video. I’ve ordered that cam to put in my 496. It runs amazing with a Ron’s 1800CFM flying toilet. I also matched it with Brodix BB3 xtra heads PTC 5500 stall. Now I’m thinking of adding a couple HP by adding a single plane tunnel ram

On that na 496... not sure what heads it has but... I'd probably run it on a 107. Also would look for something with more lift. Less duration if you wanted peak power where it was (same overlap, less duration). Would probably make a little more power and a good bit more usable torque through the rpm range.

What would the equivalent of this cam be for a 496 Oldsmobile with 9.5 to 10 compression naturally aspirated with hydraulic lifters and would it perform about the same in a Oldsmobile motor?
@johnsheetz6639
@johnsheetz6639 Жыл бұрын
Just my thoughts but you might be limited by cylinder head options. I could be 100% wrong because I haven't had a real Oldsmobile powered Oldsmobile in like 20 years they may have stepped up the aftermarket game since then.
