Thank you bryn and cms. Is this cam a full roller? what is the lobe seperation.

Re: 525sc cam specs
 

Mark it is a standard Hydraulic cam, not a roller lifter cam!

the book doesnt give a lobe seperation!

Mark,
It's a 114* LSA on a 109* ICL.
Here is the timing card for that cam.

My exhaust is thru the transom, but it is under water. Is this going to be a problem with reversion? I am running Revolution exhaust, and there is a dam built in to help prevent reversion. Thanks for the help guys.

Bryan,theres got to be a mistake in your #'s!!!I'm sure you must have mean't 298-306 advertised,even a top fuel dragster doesn't have that much duration at .050(I'm not trying to be critical,just trying to help)Smitty

Wildchild,i'm running almost identical duration(.228/.236 at .050) but with a touch over .600 lift,my motor idles at 10 inches vacuum at 675 rpm's in gear . My exhaust is thru y-pipe and thru transom with water injected right after headers end w/no reversion (but it is a 540),on the cam card for the 525sc crane does reccomend above water exhaust,you'd hate to install it just to find out it won't work,maybe someone out there is running same cam with your exhaust and can shed some light on it (or tell you not to do it)

Re: 525sc cam specs
 

Smitty, you should be critical! I believe wrong information is worse than no information! Here is a scan out of the Merc Hi performance service manual #3
are you saying I should run this cam in my Alcohol Dragster! "JUST KIDDING!

Is the Merc book WRONG, DOH

Sorry if I miss-led anyone, it was late and as I stated the information was from the manual. I never though about double checking God Almighty Mercury Racing!
