I had a cam ground with 275 int/285 exh (224/232) specs ground.
The cam works good, makes good power, and is about the limit of
what I would suggest for a street driven car.
Idle is pretty smooth at 1000 RPM, not so smooth at 800.
It has a hole from 1000 RPM to 2500 RPM, as would be expected.
This cam would be analogous to the Holbay E128 (tornado) race cam.
In the past weeks, I have been working on other cars, and dealing with
cams in particular.
The stock SV cam is spec'd to have 4 degrees of advance on it.
This was recently verified.
If you are interested in more horsepower, you might consider geting
a 2 degree offset key for the cam cog (4 crank degrees), and get back
10 or so hidden horsepower.
You will of course lose 5-10 lb ft of low end torque around 3000 RPM.
Oh well, thats my opinion.
