hey guys, this is pretty stupid of me i know but anyways.
i got a new cam out in my g200 the other day, it was a freebie out of anotehr car that my olds bought for my sis, ('81 TE, 1600 bored to 1800, extractors, exhaust, weber and pod filter) so i guess it wasnt free but yeah, i asked what grind it was, he said it was a stage four, and i know this means its pretty high up, but i was wondering where i can get specs on it, or if anoyone knows where it should make power, (rev range) cos it seemed to be lacking over teh very mild one taht was in there previous, that one seemd to give a nice amout of torque.
anwyas soory to sound like a dipshit but yeah could ya hep us out...
cheers

there are numbers on the rear of non standard cams . Take these numbers to a shop that sells performance cams and look through their listings.That is the only way to find out

thanx a lot, but i dont think ill be doing that in a hurry, cos it doesnt really bother me too much, ill just ask teh guy who did it where it should make the power, but i took it for a drive last night and it seems to be pretty nice above 2500, so ill just be satisfied not really knowing for now....
thanx anyways

If you're satisfied not really knowing, then god only knows why you asked the question in the first place... but anyway... cams don't usually kick in til about 2 1/2 grand anyway. I have a 35/75 cam in my Gem. Rev it harder and you might surprise yourself! Smile
