Hey Guys,
Wanted to ask a quick question about the 395 GM cam. Based on all the previous posts I've gone thru, it sure looks like this '395 cam is the one to go with for all around performance/mileage/towing. The other cam I was looking at is Comp Cams 08-409-8. The Comp cam has more duration @0.050", and a bit more lift. That said, it sure looks like more folks prefer the '395 over any other.
My question is this (or these) - Noticing that the '395 cam has an advertised duration of 288/308 and @0.050" of 196/206 - it appears this cam has 90 degrees more duration under 0.050" than damn near any other cam in its class. Is this additional duration under 0.050" what gives this cam its magic ?
Last question - Given this setup, what cam would you install ? -- '98 K2500 - 8 lug - 4L80e - Stock TC - 3.73 - L31 - 0411 pcm - 24x cnp ignition - shorty headers - K&N CAI - upgraded delphi Spider injectors. I plan on upgrading valve springs to Comp 26918, 787, 648
Thanks
