Cam question
 
I have a Baja 260, bravo3 24p, 454 ported heads, Holley 750, what's the best cam I should use? Power, sound, longevity, Rpms ect. And should I go roller? Solid lift now :/

Who did the porting ,on what heads and what do they flow. Are you running stock exhaust

Dale332 08-03-2014 09:01 AM

2.25/1.88 stock exhaust I don't know what heads I'm not real familiar with the 454 scene,? I just mic the valve ports Stock manifolds straight to 4 inch tips

How much are cheap headers and are the worth it?

I have a cam card for a hydraulic crane cam I already have, I know very little about cams tho, except general knowledge. If someone would want me to send them a pic of the card if be glad to and they can tell me what they think? Or tell me what info to get from it and I'll send that to you also.... Right now in a no wake zone when I put it in gear it wants to fall on it's face, had a guy adjust timing, and carb he says it's probably wrong cam for my set up... Just zero power down low, I can get on plane decent but not how I would like, and I can only turn about 4,600-4,700 Rpms which I don't like.... So I have this hydraulic set up If it will help me on low, and stretch my Rpms out there, or I can buy one... Or buy a roller set up... Open to suggestions or I'd be glad to send this cam card to someone and them give me some info on it.

No offence ment but when you say headers do you really mean headers or are you really asking about performance manifolds with good risers ie. Stainless marine, gil, or several others. They can be had here on the swap shop regurarly for a working mans price.

Dale332 08-03-2014 09:39 AM

Well I meant headers, are manifolds and risers even worth the exchange from stock, other then weight? And no offense takin at all.... I'm close to ignorant when it comes to boat performance.... I'm a truck guy... I'm learning tho hahaha

Sure your prop isn't a little too big ?

Slow planing and not enough top rpm is the sign of that.
