Italian cams are not so cheap,you must add 20% tax!!
799 + 20% = 958.8 euro

Those are darn nearly free at £270!!

But how does the 268° at 050 compare, is it similar to your 288° Crane ones?

my cams has a duration at ~230-240dgr at .050" so these are pure mean. i´d say that they are over 300dgr in europen way of measure.

they do have a little less lift than mine.

i think i´m going to order a set of those too

is this at .050".
if so are they like 285-290dgr for us

[clipping_point]

Its that strange american duration I can´t work out:

Intake Duration 201@006 Lift .440 inch

Exhaust Duration 197@006 Lift .428 inch

It is the duration measured at a specific lift, while we in Europe specify it at zero-lift. Dunno how they translate, or if it has to be actually measured (cos of ramping etc.)

No, he means this one.

The reply from people who brought the Howell performance crane cams was; 'a mild improvement'

[clipping_point]

We all want VAST improvements! ...if only that £270 cam could be working with the ECU...............

no problems to remap the std-ecu at my friends company

What do u think about the lumpy idle issue, that Makinen mentioned. Strange exhaust values may prove disastrous att Svensk Bilprovning (MOT), don´t u think?? ...otherwise I can´t hardly stop myself, they giving those fekkers away................

i can´t find that makinen said anything about a lumpy idle.
the mot could be a issue but i think it´s not impossible.
adjustable camgears would help the blowby when MOT-tested and we can always go for the alcoholtrick .

[clipping_point]

Tempting...I guess different springs are needed?

[clipping_point]

Can´t find it either. Anyway, it is even cheaper on GMPartsDirect!! U need someone in the state to hndle the goods tho, cos they do not ship outside US

Rough idling is mentioned on this thread [j-body]

Basically a lightened flywheel with performance cams may cause the knock sensor to think that the engine is 'pinking' thus retarding the ignition and causing a rough idle.

Found it:

Makinens Honda-thread (Swedish)

[dude]

read the whole thread and can still don´t find it. i must be blind

remap the knocksensor is not impossible i think, but i´m meeting my mapping-guru tomorrow morning and will ask him
