ZCAM
0.552" 0.552"
228° 228°

XCAM
0.542" 0.542"

Ide call comp if anything as everyone is gonna say the Ford Racing Cams are "Outdated" you have so much invested in your motor why go cheap on the cam? I know you dont wanna hear this but it would make your combo so much better. Anyways look at Comp or Trickflow stage II, somthing that is a newer grind, ide would want a split duration, to favor the juice maybe someone else will chime in, that is my .2

yes i hear ya, but all OTS cams started as a custom grind at one point or another i actually have a split duration cam in there now 221/232 .570 lift with the 1.7 rockers. with a 111 LSA i heard a high LSA is favored for nitrous cars...what do you think?
