mileage cam
Years ago I used a Crower Baja Torque Master cam in a 350 Pontiac. It was a 2bbl engine originally but I swapped in a cast intake, Rochester and duals. It was a '69 Firebird convertible. The dizzy received lighter advance springs. Once I got 24 on a trip; usually on any long drive it would get over 20. The Crower had .435" lift and 205/205 duration IIRC. It had good power past 4500 rpm. I did 125 in it once and had more left. I'm sure the rear axle was something taller than 3.08, probably 2.78. I recall Hot Rod magazine testing a SP2P on a Trans Am and saying it pulled past 4000 but somehow I'm doubtful. I have one I got off ebay; the runners are really narrow. If you're interested, PM me. They come up on ebay frequently, no one ever advises they're a mpg intake. I recall reading Edelbrock advised against using them with mileage cams as they would cause detonation.
