Performer-Plus Camshaft.. Legit cam?

[Jmellone7]

Hey everyone I just have a quick question, I have a 95 GT 5.0 and recently just bought an Edlebrock Performer-Plus Camshaft with the specs:

Duration @ .006 Int:282 deg. Exh: 282 deg
@ .050 Int:220 deg. Exh: 220 deg
Lift
@Cam Int: .311 (0,78cm) Exh: .311 (0,78cm)
@Valve Int: .498 (1,26cm) Exh: .498 (1,26cm)

Is this a good cam? No so good?
Would appreciate the feedback, thanks!

Sounds like the old Crane 2040 cam specs. Should be a decent off the shelf cam, but there are better cams available. I'm not a fan of single pattern cams, such as the FRPP alphabet cams. SBF heads are notoriously asthmatic on the exhaust side and can almost always benefit from a split pattern cam that favors the exhaust with more lift and duration. If the LSA on that cam is only 110° like the Crane 2040, you're almost certainly going to need a tune to keep it running. The 94-95 EEC doesn't seem to like cams under 112° very well, although every car is different, so your mileage may very.

Moved to 94-95 Tech.

What Cam would you suggest?

What heads and intake are you running?

It IS the Crane 2040 and the E303 is exactly the same. It's OK and it works fine with Edelbrock heads/intake but there are better cams out there. It would be nice to know what the rest of the OP's engine combo is sp we can make a good suggestion.

What heads and intake are you running?

Right now I just have stock heads, intake i have the Edlebrock Performer RPM II, throttle body 75mm, MAF 75mm i believe, 24 lbs. injectors, bbk equal length shorty headers, bbk x pipe, SLP loudmouth exhaust, SCT Performance Chip, K&N Intake (going to be replacing too much oil in the filter).

Your heads and intake are completely mismatched. I suggest you keep the existing intake and upgrade the heads/cam at the same time. Since you already have the Eddy cam, keep it and just buy a pair of Eddy heads to complete the top end package.
