Thanks for sharing, but you can't just tease us like that.  How about a vid?

Oh and what did you install it in?

it went in my 84 c10. its a 1995 350 short block with 98 vortec heads with melling springs. I am very surprised at how much smooother my truck runs now over a stock cam. its even a little quieter in the cab at cruising speeds. Now i have to chose a muffler. th e20 year old glass packs just aint cutting it.

the video isnt much. i have a crappy cell hpone and thats all i had to use.

I getting excited about doing a cam for my 86 until I seen you were running a 95 motor. I wonder how good this cam would do in an 86 350.

What else did you have to change to run this cam? Did you already have the melling springs before or were they required for the cam?

Cheers,

I ran stock springs, but the springs, pushrods, and lifters were all new. The last one was in an 81 350, and I dont see where the 86 would be any different. I was very happy with the motor, just swapped it out with a bigblock with more power.

Awesome - I see some of the cam kits that come with new lifters so I knew those would have to be replaced. Cheers!

I already had the srpings. and the cam doesnt have a huge lift so stock springs should work.
