MY CAM IS IN!!!! For those of you who have kept up with the story.. I got the crane cam, "130052" 272 adv.duration 484 lift. I haven't got to really play around in it yet, but just from driving it around theres a MAJOR difference. I did a desktop dyno for it, and it should be making around 200 to the wheels now, as opposed to 140. I figure it's a pretty accurate because I did a desktop dyno with the old cam specs and it came out close to my actual dyno numbers. So I'm sure I'll get it dyno'd asap and let you guys know.

With no other mods or tuning, the cam swap will likely gain no more than 20-30 hp at the wheels.

I'm assuming from your 140 base hp that your 302 is currently the stock 2bbl setup?

yeah "She's cold as ICE " you know! ! !

ps I told you you wouldn't be disappointed with that cam thats what I'm running but my biggest improvement was the 3.40 gear and trac-loc.
Get you some hedders and better heads and hold on..

Give me something to compare what are your 0-60 times mine is just over 6 seconds and that still spinning my expediton was almost tripple that.

I got my trac-loc from Ebay and had the guy build the 3.40 which he told me came out of a pinto station wagon. He built it and I dropped mine and bolted his in ---piece of cake no mods...

Its just standard 8" stuff the pumpkins are interchangeable as long as its 8" nothing II related about it at all

the Trac-loc is the whole differential then a standard 8" ring and pinnion bolts to it available in just about any ratio you want.

anymore ?? give me a holler

ps whats your 0-60 time?

I'm not sure about my 0-60 time but precam my car ran the best of a 16.7. I'm hoping to have it in the 15's now. But the 13 inch tires are **** for drag racing.
