Camshaft selection
« on: August 27, 2007, 01:33:30 AM »

Been looking at cams, probably gonna put a set in the Charger along w/ adj gears, before I build the engine. Seem Crane and Crower are the only ones making cams for them. The Neon guys seem to think Crane 14's are about the best for a stock compression engine, does this hold true for the Avenger engine? Anyone had any experience w/ the Crower cams? Looks like Stage 1 Crowers would be the most a stock engine would want.

Wrongo Nykon I have Crane cams as well!  14s are a great set for forced induction.  What is your overall goal?

Mod List.  Um WAY too many to fit on here.  But the engine can handle about 800HP

My goal? An all-motor build eventually, high-compression, ported head, etc. Before that though, I'm gonna run the engine stock until I get the bugs worked out and money saved, so right now I'm looking for cams that will complement a stock engine. It's a '96 engine, if it makes any difference.

I'd say save up and just do it all the right way when you can.  Why spend hundreds maybe a thousand or two just to change the set up?

True, I didn't realize how expensive cams were for these engines. Lol I'm used to buying V8 cams for like 50-100 bucks.

DT, what did you get that was Crower??  I know there is something.



Crane lays it out pretty well what each grind does.

Hey man.. I know a guy from way back in the old days of ASOG that tried to do an All Motor Build on the 420a. He only shaved off a couple seconds (17-15). He put litterally thousands into the engine along with a lot of time and effort, only to be let down. These motors are best with Forced Induction.
