WebCam 165

Got this cam with some other parts, anyone ever use it.  The numbers are unlike any other cam i've seen, thoughts on it...

VALVE LIFT          DURATION          DURATION@0.050

.492/.492             312/312                273/273

 
Strong mid and upper end performance for large displacement hot street engines

That is the lift at the valves with 1.1 rockers.  This cam will need good heads and high compression to run well.  I used this cam in a 2110 with 10.5:1 compression and 48IDA's (37mm venturis). the cylinder heads were Performance Technology stage 7's (42X37.5)  The engine made 175HP at 6000 rpm.  In the car with close gears the car would go 12.60's 2 105-107mph.

On the street the engine would pull hard from about 3500 through 6500-7K.

I used that Web Cam 165 for 2 years in my daily driver.  The street manners are good with mileage about 18-22mpg. I eventually removed that Web 165 cam in favor of a Norris 355S with 1.4 rockers (similar to a Engle K8).  What I noticed was the web cam was a little hard on the lifter bores.  I had lifter bushings installed in my case when I installed the Norris Cam.
