I am working on a 306 build for a daily driver and I am looking at the Crane TruckMax roller cam #449541.
Has anyone here run this cam?
If so what kind of idle quality does it have?
How much more low end/mid end power would you say it creates over other cams?
The build I am doing is as follows.
Blueprint 306 roller short block
Crane 449541 cam (what I am planning on)
9.5:1 compression
AFR 165 Renegade 58cc aluminum heads with 7/16" studs
1.6:1 scorpion roller rockers 7/16" studs
edelbrock performer dual plane intake (not the RPM)
1" phenolic four hole spacer (reason why I opted out of the RPM version)
Summit 600cfm 4V vacuum secondary carb
hedman shorty street headers
Engine is intended to be a daily driver but is capable of better towing capacity than the stock 135hp rated 302 that I am pulling.
Only thing I am unsure on is the camshaft. It fits in with my plans on paper but I found contradictions between Summit, Crane, and outlaw performance when it comes to information on this camshaft. I also cant find any reviews online nor any feedback. Only video I could find pertaining to this camshaft is under the HR-216/325-2S-12 number and that was a newer fuel injection 302 that sounded like it had a stock like idle.
