What's the best cam to get for tight woods? Nothing too fast.

Web .390

 

[ratmraptor]

Do I still get some good midrange power?

 

[beastlywarrior228]

Yep

 

[ratmraptor]

So since that's lower then a .430 I shouldn't need new valve springs. Right?

 

[97warrior350]

they recommend you run new ones

 

[beastlywarrior228]

negative it still has more duration and ramp angles than stock so you need them

 

[ratmraptor]

I may just wait until I burn my clutch up then. Bc springs are pricey.

 

[beastlywarrior228]

eh? what does your clutch have to do with it

 

[ratmraptor]

By the time that goes ill have the spending money to do the work and plus its a reason to crack open the case. Am I wrong

 

[rappy'97]

No need to split cases

 

[ratmraptor]

Really? Could I install the cam myself. I have knowledge of tools and how to use them.

 

[beastlywarrior228]

ya your clutch is right there behind the cover and put the springs in while you have the top end already off

your cam is in the head

 

[rappy'97]

The cam is in the very top of the motor... I could swap a cam and get a quad in time in under 10 minutes... It's way easy

 

[ratmraptor]

Ok bc its over head right? I should've know that. But the timing is probably what I would mess up on

10 mins? i couldn't even get the beer out of the fridge to start the job that fast.

 

[beastlywarrior228]

ya its simple i took mine in and out in no time and timing is near fool proof

 

[miami1]

i know its simple but 10 mins? come on

 

[miami1]

so you can remove plastics, fuel tank, valve covers, loosen jam nuts, remove cam cover, unbolt the cam, secure the chain, remove cam, lube & install cam, check timing, torque cam bolt, set valves, replace all three covers, and replace all plastics and fuel tank in under 10 mins?

Why would I have to remove plastics and the gas tank to remove a cam LOL

to adjust the valves
