Another "Different Cam?" Question about my 418 build.

[jdean]

I think that is a good cam choice for a street driven 418. Similar to the one I am using in my 418. I dont think the difference between a 408 and 418 is enough to worry about a change. Plus I dont think you can get much better advice than what KC can give.

What static compression ratio are you running with your 'similar" cam?
the reason I'm a bit worried is that when we went to the 418 we also increased the compression a little bit. worried I don't have the duration needed for 10.125:1.
Not concerned about any poor advice from Keith as I agree he is tops, but he did not have all the information I have know when he rocommended this one.

Why not ask Keith Craft what he thinks. He spec'd the cam originally, ask him if it is still the correct cam for your now changed engine and if it still fits your needs. It's fairly easy to change the cam now before it gets slid into the block, and it's not to expensive either.

I did ask Keith and got an answer yesterday that the cam is fine for my application. Good news!
Thanks
