Cam Question
I was looking through the Summit and Jegs catalog at the Crane cams last night and noticed that they give two different specs for the same cam. Jegs is giving adv. duration 264*/274* and gross lift .423"/.423. Where as Summit is giving 204*/214* and gross .423"/.423". Those of you who have the cam which Duration numbers are right?
I have also been thinking about going to the Edelbrock intake for my Camaro and they make a cam that the Duration is 204*/214* and the lift is .420/.442.
Which cam do you all think would be best the Crane or the Edelbrock?

there are 7 different cams made by crane for the 60* v6.. http://www.cranecams.com/master/apps/chevy1.htm
ive heard that the edelbrock cam/intake together is better than a edelbrock intake/crane cam setup, but i dont know for sure on that...

I change my waterpump in like 30 minutes or so, the cam is going to take a day.
If you were changing your timing chain, then changing the cam would go hand in hand.

Oh okay,
Didn't mean to chew on ya there. I was just wondering what made someone think that waterpump and cam were in the same league thats all.
