Cams With Gill Exhaust
 

Anyone Running Bigger Than Stock 500hp Cams With The Stock Gill Exhaust System. If So How Big And Any Reversion Problems.

Thanks

You have the taller, updated risers so I think you could go with something in the range of a Crane 741 without any issues.

Griff what is the specs on the 741 cam, and is it a proven hp upgrade.

Thanks again Rick

It was probably the one of the most widely used cams for upgrading the 500HP. 236/244, .610/.632, 112 lobe sep. If you want to reduce the reversion possibilities and get a smoother idle, have one ground a 114 lobe sep. That would be the same as the 525EFI cam
