Need to be VERY careful with those kind of LSA and exhaust duration in a marine application. It can cause significant mullet reversion when admiring the idle from behind at the dock. Not even aqua net will hold up.

Yes CT

had a guy at a car show ask me once if I had a 3/4 cam in my 442, I said "no I put the whole cam in it". he didnt talk to me anymore.

Lmao

I had a guy get a car so talk to me That he couldn’t get the lift out of his cam so I told him to use a jack

I had a guy get mad at me when I fold him a mutha thumper cam wouldn’t wouldn’t work in his boat. :wink

Sound clip for you....

Good , at least you have a baseline then if you do swap cams looking for your sound goal.

Honestly not trying to give you a hard time and dont think others are either...

I just enjoy boating too much to see someone spend time and money on something that might not help them one bit for the sake of sound.

I had a Cam in my WS6 Trans Am that made the car almost undriveable for the average person. Made great power and had a nasty idle , but it was a chore to drive. Personally wouldnt want that on a boat. Gotta keep them Baja's on the water !

JesusPhragle, you just jumpstarted my heart. I think I’m learning a lesson with all the reading and the help from others that this just isn’t gonna work. It looks like the only options unless again I’m mistaken that won’t mess up my power and will increase my horsepower without damage in the engine and not having to do $3000 worth of change to it will be that crane cam 168731. To be completely honest, when I start that boat I want peoples heads to turn. I know it’s not the right reason but it’s my reason. It would be the only solution to gain power in a 454 that’s mildly changed. I am just addicted to What sounds like a dragster on the water and a wild sound that comes from a builtup motor. I just can’t get away from that wild and crazy sound of a hot cam. Just didn’t know a lot about putting a motor together on the boat. It was always done for me. Thanks for your advice everybody if I’m wrong about that crane Cam which I know is made by someone else then just tell me and I will drop it Like a hot potato and just go with my new exhaust. Thanks again CT

but you don't have a full meltdowned daughter watching the 3/4 race cam go by.
