Seems close to mine. I`m on a HUC lobe from Comp and 4/7 swap and their micro finish .. It`s a MILD THUNDER CAM .. works great!

It appears you use your boat a-good amt icdedpple, about how many hrs now on these current builds?

You are using spring oilers on these engines too, right ?

Tks for the replies. Especially the post directly related to the thread. I do like and have heard many favorable comments on the HUC lobes for endurance, valvetrain etc. I assume the crane has a more aggressive lobe than that of the Comp HUC series? Who’s the go to guy at Comp? Had a good conversation with an individual there however it’s been a while and was over some SC builds. I’m always intrigued with the duration being very broad with several still running near same max RPM.

I’ve also heard of some oso members who lost decent power after custom cams and ditching their cranes very similar to the one I was asking about. Note: If I recall they were spec’d by someone we all know though.

317 promaxx heads ended up close to 347 after Valako ported. I misplaced exhaust numbers.

Valako just got me 2 Comp HUC lobe billet cams ground on the 8.1L cores 2/3-4/7 swap. He is a Comp distributor. Probably could get a couple drop shipped to you.

Here`s the guy Billy Gold sent me to for ordering:

Hi Daniel,



Billy sent over your email for me to get you taken care of. If you want, give me a call at 901-271-9230. If I don't answer, leave me a voicemail and I will call you back. Or, you can send me your phone number and I will call you if you would like. Just let me know and that way I can get this order taken care of for you.



Thanks,

Jonathan
