Comp Cam spec sheet help

[jmr_1602]

I have an e12 head (rebuilt with only 50mi on it) with the intake port & polished. It also came with a reground cam from Comp Cams; however, I don't know how to read the cam spec sheet.

Can anyone help me out with a translation? Is this cam comparable to a 292, 300, etc? Thanks in advance.

BTW: it's not installed.

given the LIFT in your cams table -

it looks to me like it's equivalent

to a SCHRICK 284 cam

As always thanks CD.

For some reason it looks smaller than 280 to me, the 112 centers is making me think larger, but it is apples and oranges, if you want a definitive answer call Comp Cams ask Gary he will remove all doubt

Actually, if it's REALLY gross valve lift, and not cam lift, then it's a lot less than a 284.

But measure it. If the cam lift (lobe height -base height) comes in around 7mm,

though, it's about a 284. With a bit rougher idle, since the LSA is a skosh higher

(lobe separation angle).

To me, it looks like a gentle nudge beyond the stock cam.

Unless it really only has 7mm of valve lift, and then it looks like a

stick.

But yes, call comp cams, they know their cheeseburgers.

Just thought I'd update. I got in touch with Comp Cams, and Im still confused. This is what I was told:

"The specs on the card are accurate and that serial number is given at the top of that card. Your duration @ .050 is 199/199 with a 112 degree LSA"

If I do end up using this head, my setup from the current stock E21 head will be utilized: Single 45 DCOE w Lynx manifold, Tii Dizzy, Crane XR700, and IE shorty header.
