I went to look up the Erson Duttweiler 208-208 in case they were similar.
Unfortunately I could not find an official Erson web site anymore...

I've got one. Mods are in my sig. It's been a good cam. The cam is actually an Elgin grind if I remember correctly. I went with FTS after I had already wiped a Poston's and a Comp Cam's grind in just a short time. I broke it in with GM EOS and have ran Rotella and STP type oil addatives since. This car is my dd and I've got probably 45,00+ miles on this set up. It has a good idle with just enough of a lick to notice. Not a bad sound at all with my THDP and Hooker cat back. Good street manners. Works well with the stock converter and pulls strong to the redline. I'm getting a little better than 21 mpg too.

My track best, which is no way near the potential of my set-up, has been 12.9's at 109+ with low boost (18#) and a stock converter. This was with a sucky 2 teens 60 foot time on street radials and no tuning. I literally drove to the track and pulled into the staging lanes. I still have the no converter problem but with alky, the low boost problem has been solved but it seemed to make my no traction problem worse. :biggrin: I haven't had it back to the track since upping the boost but it is much stronger now. I had the mph for low 12's then so I'm sure with a better converter and better 60' times it definitely could be an 11 second set-up.

do you know what LSA is on the cam? Im sure its probably like a 110 lobe.. ive seen isky cams has one similiar to it.. with i believe was a 109 or a 112 lobe.. i have a similiar set up than you do.. but i have the TA-60... im hoping for mid 11s... anyways.. just curious who had this cam.. thanks for the replys..

Sorry, I'm unsure of the LSA and I have no idea where the spec card is but I think IIRC it was 112.

Sorry.....

I misspelt his name, it's Geno and I'm pretty sure it came from Mike.
