Anybody using a solid Crower cam and lifters (Buick size, not Chevy) with cam lobe oilers (cool face) in lifters? Cams I'm looking at are #292FDP (246/250 degree, .483"/.493", 108LDA) and #304FDP (258/262 degree, .516"/.531", 108LDA). Are they durable in the 455?
The solid lifter cams on a Buick, acoording to JW's dyno runs, make less power than hydraulic. JW says Jim Belle found the same. Graphs of some different cams run head to head are on www.trishieldperf.com
I'm sorry. I don't understand that. How does that make sense? What pulls harder at 6000? Mechanical I feel would have to. Lifter hydraulics are not an issue. So what exactly limits the solid cam and lifters performance potential???
