    C'mon Jerry,

    Can't you ask something tough?:confused:

    CS-9105
    .554/.554
    340/340 (no .050 specs)
    105* centerline
    4000-7000 Power Range
    7200 Max RPM

    The highest step he had back then was the:
    CS-X108
    .588/.588
    350/360
    108*
    4500-7500
    7800 max rpm

    Anything else you need from a late 80's NW Buick Performance catalog?

    Re: Cam card

    Maybe Dave himself has one still, unless this was just a "rebadged" KB cam.

    I thought Jerry was running a solid TA cam?

    If you need a cam card, make your own!

    That CS9105 was actaully most likely a Poston 105 grind. Could have been done by a different grinder though. Jim Burek

    Just looking at the specs Jim is correct, they look very similar to the gs105 by poston. I recently sold a GS105.

    After re-reading the info on Dave J (circa late 80's), it mentioned he had been a rep for Postons. I'm guessing he used those profiles for all of the cams listed on the page.

    Thanks Guys!

    Chrispy in Victoria has one of these and needed a fall guy to ask about specs on this cam so he didn't get beat up. :grin:

    Thank You

    Something that old deserves to be gold plated and sent off to TA. Then get Dave J to autograph it!

    I don't think old Dave J is too welcome around that part of AZ. :rant:

    OVER LAP

    I was told this 9105 cam is similar but different then the 105. I think the overlap was tightened up so it could be run with lower compression? I ran this cam (9105)in my car with 10.6:1, mild porting, TA intake, 850 carb, 2 inch TA headers, and the car went 10.57 @ 124. If anyone has a cam card that would be very helpful....Chris
