Just by cams you given, that Crane 210 cam seems better for your wants + needs.

Thanks everyone

SB why com 210. Just wondering. Trying to learn!!

I got lost in there charts. I was looking at the 3500/5500/6500 part. I read back and saw where they posted peak torque and hp and such.

A peak hp of 6200rpm is not so bad on the bigger Crane 224 cam.

Anyway, I'm no LS guy, but I'd be willing to bet something just under or near 220 will work puurrfect. lsa 112-114 (LS cam guy will make the choice here) and you'll get your cake and eat it too - no reversion, high 5k power peak, very wide power band, and yada, yada, yada.

I went thru all this with my 1960 Cadillac that I am putting a 5.3 LS1 into. peak horsepower really means nothing in a boat. we dont have gears to shift. all the cams that I looked at made more power well above 4k rpm but lost a lot down low. since the caddy is heavy and a cruiser I didnt see the point in making power above 6k when it would make it struggle up to that point and labor where it spends the most time running. in order to compare you really need to see the dyno sheets and what average power it was seeing at what points other wise you may spend half the lake trying to get it to the point is wants to go.
