Is john force your engine builder:D ? tell us more about your motor,the cam seems humungous to me,obviously you must be running a large, high compression motor and your cam must be a solid roller. One of our in house cam experts will be able to judge it better but to me it sounds like a 7500rpm drag boat cam,Smitty

Re: check my engine builders cam choice
 

Did your old cam seem too small? What rpm's do you want your power to peak at? How heavy is your boat,what is your cu inch and compression ratio,without this info we can only make a W.A.G. but it still seems like a big daddy drag cam to me,Smitty

540 just over 9 and a half to one comp dart heads jesel roller lifters and stud girdels j and e pistons, h beam rods .....It seemed a bit much for me to....Peak rpm around 5800 50 6000

to big , and on a 110 you will need dry pipes

Re: check my engine builders cam choice
 

That cam is huge and will be a parts breaker.A cam that big in a 540 will rev to 7000

Re: check my engine builders cam choice
 

9.5 to 1 compression is not enough for that cam.
More like 12.5.

Thats a Drag Cam for sure.
