HP500 cam question
 

Yes I'm new here. I have a 502 HP500 carbed, possibly a 95 (motor was not factory installed according to velocity). I want to upgrade the cam for some more power and a meaner sound, I tried emailing teague but he never returned the email. I was also wondering how much of a difference swapping in some 1.8's for the 1.7's makes and what is a good brand? Pros cons if any? Thanks in advance.

CALL BOB MARADA (AKA RMBUILDER) 585-654-8583

I just placed my order with Bob yesterday for a custom grind cam. He is the cam guru. I will let everyone know the results in a few weeks. Good luck with your project!!

Thanx rssteiny. How are his prices jeffswav?

No more than a good off the shelf cam. He will taylor the cam to your setup. No one on any tech line knows half what he does.

Good to hear. I'll give him a call. Updates to come...... if I can figure out how to swap cams without pulling the %$#%$ motor

Its easy, just drill a 2" hole all the way through your back seat!!! :evilb:

Ha ha! the back seat comes out, its the firewall thats inches from my water pump thats the issue. :) that I could drill a hole in, but getting the water circ pump and all that jazz off is the fun part.

I got mine out sort of that way. I have a storage locker right in front of the cam. I drilled a hole into the locker and retrieved it through the hatch in the floor. :ernaehrung004:

You should pull the motor to change the cam unless you have lots of room in front. It is very important to degree a cam in properly, particularly in a marine (wet exhaust) evironment. This would be hard to do through a 2" hole. FWIW
