Stated: " Edelbrock Performer-Plus Camshaft # 2157 is designed for 350-455 Pontiac V8 engines and produce optimum torque from the low-end to the mid-range."

That means very little other than the cam can be installed in any Pontiac engine. But does not mean it is a great fit for all.

Right on the the Edelbrock link previously posted for that specific cam ... it states: "Edelbrock Performer-Plus Camshaft Kit for Pontiac 350-403 V8"

Small cubic inches ! Note no 455 listed !

Further if you look in the Crower catalog their 60917 hyd flat tappet cam with the same 204 degrees intake duration is listed with the cubic inches group for 265-287 cubic inches.

If it were to be used in a 'performance' 455 Pontiac it would be way under cammed with a Edelbrock 2157 cam with 204 degrees intake duration. Take the information provided in most companies catalogs regarding camshafts with a grain of salt.

ONWARD THRU THE FOG
