Is this cam is ok for a stock upgrade with matching spring

 

[Howling Mad]

In short, no. Check out the cams offered by site vendors like full throttle or Weber. Gbody parts probably sells cams too but I've never looked.

That cam is for an "odd" fire engine.

Which cam kit are you guys using for a stock motor. The stock cam has a wipe lobe

I'm putting in a Mellings MT1 which is a just the Edelebrock cam but cheaper it was made by Elgin, Mellings and Speed Pro it's a 204/214 there lots of threads about it .

Is it a cam that's timed for a turbo engine, or just a 'bigger cam'?

 

[Boostdeznuts]

Earl if this ? Is for me , I just want a little bigger then stock. I had a car with 204 214 already and really like it. But want something different.

 

[earlbrown]

any of them... stuff like 204/214 is just an arbitrary number. It really tells nothing about the cam. And in our case we don't like lots of overlap and there's no reason to hold the intake open long past BDC.
Going bigger is usually going backward. The engine can't start making cylinder pressure until the intake valve closes, I'm betting there's a BUNCH of engines out there with crappy dynamic compression that are having to run big boost numbers just to make up for overcamming.

Its a 112 hence it works quite well.

 

[Boostdeznuts]

Ok. Thanks guys, my guys decide to go with the 204 214 cam kit

112 means nothing I can easily show you a cam with 112 that has more overlap that one at 108, it is all about event timing not just one number

also another arbitrary number. If you've got two very skinny lobes with lazy ramps 112* apart there's very little overlap. If you've got a pair of steep ass lobes that are 300 degrees wide, you've got buttloads of overlap. That's assuming the same curtain area on both examples.
