You might give Engle a call too, they can grind about anything on any centers and are reasonably priced. Mumert has cams and John typical knows, and will tell you what works.

Ted, from what I learned on the lobe rake on high lift cams was too use .002 rake to avoid fatal issues with the cam lobes and lifters.

62galxe (2/27/2009) how does lobe centerline affect idle and low end power. say 112 versus 108.As a general rule, tightening up (making smaller) the lobe centerline makes the torque peakier or higher but the torque band itself will be within a narrower rpm range. The wider lobe centerline on a camshaft that is otherwise identiical will typically idle smoother with an increase in manifold vacuum at idle with less lope or rumble due to a reduced overlap. A camshaft with a narrower lobe centerline is more sensitive to how it’s degreed in versus a cam with a wider lobe centerline.

Ok, I just reread you original post. Since you have standard trans check with Mummert or TED as you can use more rough idle if you are up to it. I like the ISKy and best of all I like the full CAM kit lifters springs etc.

Kenny, I think you have to try it out, A lot of it is personal preference and what you can tolerate for street driving. Do you have an auto?

Kenny, I've got the E-4 in the 239 in the truck. For street driving, I love it. You can really feel the torque.

Thanks for the info Ted, dug around in some paperwork and found the cam card. Listed as "mechanical special-regrind #00358--S-264-C " Intake open/close 28/64, Exhaust open/close 74/18---Advertised duration 272 degrees-- duration at 0.050 Intake/Exhaust 222/222, Lift with 1:54 rockers Intake/Exhaust 0.445/0.445 seems to be a nice streetable cam with a little lope to it at idle ! Again-- Thank You for taking the time to answer my question. KID
