Default Re: How's this Crane cam compare to the LT-1

Mark;

Did you degree the cam in, or just install it "dot-to-dot"? Having the cam degreed in can make a very noticeable difference in when/where the powerband starts.

Since you've dropped your compression down to 9-1, you can probably get away with upping your intial and total timing as well, which should also help driveability. You might try something along the lines of 16° initial and 38°-40° total, all in by 3000 rpm since you have a stick and 4.10 gears.

Just thought.

Eric
