How does the cam card affect stall speed?
How does the cam card affect stall speed?
Your cam card will also include “lobe separation” and “centerline.” These two specs will tell you how choppy the cam is and how well it’s able to idle. A lower number means less vacuum and decreased idle quality. The need for a higher stall increases as those numbers decrease.

What do the specs on a camshaft tell you?
These two specs will tell you how choppy the cam is and how well it’s able to idle. A lower number means less vacuum and decreased idle quality. The need for a higher stall increases as those numbers decrease. Lift, duration, lobe separation, and centerline all help determine the powerband of the camshaft.
Can a comp cam be used on a 350?
MY question is this a good setup for the car and will a cam with a 480 lift give me the lopey sound I’m looking for. Yes for the choppy idle, no for being a good choice for a stock 350 with stock converter and gearing.
Can a stock cam be used on a stock 350?
Stock heads often have retainer to guide/seal contact around .470″ lift. And don’t forget to swap out your stock valve springs for those recommended for use with it. Even better would be the XE250H, or if you wanted a rougher idle yet decent manners I would be temped to have that cam custom ground on a 108 or even a 106 lobe separation.

Do you need a higher stall on a 350?
The K12-242-2 Kit does have the lifters,springs, retainers, locks and value stem seals. Also you think I should use a higher stall of 2500 to 3000. The LSA is 110 on the camshaft. What combination do you think I should use. Click to expand… No need for a 3000 stall unless the duration is atleast in the 23X+ range.
