Crane Cam 216/224

[ThumpinZ]

Alright Hopefully I posted the charts correctly. This is the kind of evidence people like to see when they're trying to figure out what they want to use to get some power. Otherwise you can take the claimed "25 whp" and cut it in half and that's what you might have. So I've posted these charts to show you what you'll gett out of this Crane Cam..

Info on your engine would be useful. ie what size

[ThumpinZ]

O sorry my bad 5.3 186,000 or so miles. No other internals, Shorty headers are the only other thing that went on with the cam.

Im looking to get a cam aswell, but i dont know what to get??? Any ideas? Mods are in my sig. Its a dd just need sumthing reliable

Not firmiliar with the sotp acronym... But it sounds great nice little lope to it, has smoothed out a bit with the tune. I think i'm going to ask if they can lower the idle a little bit to bring it back, plus it jerks a little when I put it in drive when it's cold. Idling around 850, want it down around 6 where it's always been. Either way you can tell it's there and even more when you put your foot down, has a nice ring. Different tone then a stocker. Drives great on the street, awesome acceleration on the highway. Kinda has a surge in power from a stop when it hits 3000 rpm you can feel it start pulling harder throughout the range. I would recommend it, yea it doesn't produce awe inspiring numbers but for me it hit the spot. Tq is your friend and good steady torque she has... Plus I hear it's a good cam for a supercharger which is the direction I'm headin one of these days.

Oh Seat of the pants.... It's nice! You can really feel it in the dead zone you know that 50 to 80. she moves that's for sure

nice gains! hopefully ill see similar improvements when i go 224/224 or something similar. how does it feel sotp wise? idle sound/quality? street manners?

pm me with a # and I can send audio/video with my phone. I don't have a card to get it from my phone to the comp because the micro port is trashed. Or go here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnvkKxCXjVM But this guy has no cat's so you know how sound goes when you remove those. Wish I could but I can't darn emissions... Either way this guy has the same cam.
