Since I installed the "041" cam and ran in manual shift from first to second to third revving out the rpm to under 5000 rpm the vehicle accelerated in a linear constant steady increase in speed ,the kick down did not engage and the secondaries were hardly felt. When I used the Gear vendors the same way but splitting gears I was able to revv each extra gear better but it was just as linear as before. The "041" gives me a top end above 130 while the former cam # 524886 was made for Tri-power( specifically or so I red) and It was the only cam to be designated such. The cam # 524886 would go from a rolling say 60 mph, floor it at 90 mph, throw me back in the seat and reach 120 and then move linear to 130 and that is it.Why was the cam # 524886 designated Tri-power only in the Pontiac records. Think about it , those engineers new and Tested over and over to come to that conclusion. I also red that the Armasteel crank is better than the forged crank because of the twist it can take with out breaking that the forged crank can't take.
