NEED HELP!!!!! roller cam selection

[ThikStik]

Whats wild is that Mike offers two cams that are so close to one another. I have his earlier offered Comp 206/210 with 517/517 and 110. It is able to take my I6 Gremlin pretty well, but then my Gremlin needs a posi. haha
It idles well and surprises me with its low end, and thats probably what youll notice after stepping up to a roller. A roller gives low end (average tork) without hurting power on top.

So, which one did you decide on?

i got the 210/215 with morel lifters!!!:biggrin:

what valve springs are you running now?

A.j.

You need a set of Roller Cam Springs...cannot remember what the part number for Comp Cams was...but I don't 979's are the correct number...also are you planning on adjustable roller rockers? If not get a set of rocker shaft braces for RJC to be safe...

Good Luck....

Can you tell me what valve springs ended up coming with the kit?

Guys,
Engineering school taught me that rolling friction is way less than sliding friction. It's a "no brainer"! Way less friction!!! When you consider the spring pressures we run, it can really make a difference. Biggest problem is the roller lifters can be heavy so RPM can be limited but that is not a problem with our motors since they don't like to rev anyway. But you can use really steep entry and exit ramps on the cam so the area under the curve (valves open quicker, stay open longer, and close later) so flow is better.
