Anyone running a "Baby Crower" cam?

[Al J]

Looking for a cam w/out the "lope" & wonder if the "Baby Crower" is it.
I want to change the cam when I do the heads, but I don't want the rough idle or surging problems that go w/it.
Does a Cobra cam make better power than the stock GT?

I think vibrantredgt and green95droptop both run/ran that in their cars and both seemed to love it. The little thing has impressed me on more than one occasion with the power it puts out.

The "baby" Crower 15511 does make some incredible numbers for how "small" it is. Put 1.7's on it and your ride will fly. The only downside is that Crower cams are a bit pricey. For the price of a Crower, you could have a custom cam - but I won't go there.

Generally the Crower 15510 is considered the "baby". Though the 511 is pretty small and does make good numbers with above average idle and drive caracteristics the "baby" cam is said to be a pretty cool little bugger.

Yea the 510 is the baby of the bunch but the 511 isn't real large. I used it with 1.72 rockers for additional lift. Can't say enough good things about it. The guy I sold it to got into the 12's with it (AFR's, 511, Performer intake). For a small cam it works wonders.

The FAQ sheet that's stickied up top has the specs. Could always go to Crower's site.

Isn't the Cobra cam the same as the GT cam but with 1.7 ratio rockers instead of the 1.6 of the GTs?

 

[Killercanary]

Steve, why do you keep bumping it? Do you have a question that hasn't been answered? If so let us know and maybe we can help...

 

[Al J]

This thread could still benefit from some first-hand experience.

No, the Cobra cam is actually a milder grind than the HO cam.

Killer, I just want personal experiences and stories. Thanks.

 

[Killercanary]

OK!

I don't see a lot of people that run that cam so you might not get lots of first had experience comments, but those that do use it seem to know what it is (correct application) and make really decent power for it's mild specs - same story on it's next step brother the 15511 cam.

bump for ya.......
