JGG,
I have the CompCam model# 20-602-9/CRS262HR12 Valve Lift is 0.480 int and 0.512 ext & duration @0.050 is 206 int and 210 ext. On the Comp web site they say it is a good torque cam for the 360. I am just going a different direction for a cam.
I bought it off Amazon for $316 and would sell it to you for $250. It has never been ran in an engine before.

thanks for the offer! Still researching the best bang for buck. Could you answer some more questions? Would that cam work with stock valves? Do they make such a cam as that? An "RV" cam....
Thanks again for any advise!

Reading your engine build thread now is answering alot of questions.....

If you can get the bigger valves without a major increase in price i would get them! No one mentioned exhaust yet, Any plans for that? Shorty headers are better for low end.

You can see the difference in cfm with the 2.02 valves compared to the 1.92's This is for the Indy X heads but it's just an example.

Its' not just about CFM though, a motor designed for low-end grunt, is going to do better with the smaller valves, as that promotes flow VELOCITY. Gives better cylinder filling, thus, more power at low RPM. Of course, at high RPM, the smaller valves are NOT helping you.......

It will work with stock valves but not stock valve springs. You would need to get different valve springs for this cam. There aren't many cams made that will work with stock springs. If you can find it they use to make a R/T cam that was a small bump from the stock one. But they are real hard to find now.

Im pretty sure I have the "rv" cam. I think comp cams is using the grinds that krc performance use to produce. And I think krc had the grind I have in my signature labeled as rv.

Ive been reading yours and redneckrams engine build thread and ( correct me if Im wrong) I believe that if i install HS 1.7 now, and at a later date want to iinstall a cam I can still use the 1.7 rr?
Thank you for your service.

If using both 1.7's and a cam, you have to be careful of total lift, so you don't have the valve and the piston trying to occupy the same space.
Also, you'll likely have to redo your valve springs.

Wildman, thanks so much for the offer, but I can't right now. That is a cam I'm interested though, but my money has to go other places right now. That is 1 of the 2 cams I'm interested in though. When I get ready to do something, I'll message you to see if you still have it.

Thanks spillage for the info. I just didnt want have to get rid of the 1.7s if I go with a cam later on down the road. This is my plan as of now to improve my torque :
CAI
Kegger mod( Not sure how much of the runners to remove if any)
50mm TB
1.7 RR
3" y pipe
Tuner to tie it all in.
My engine has 71,000 and is still stock. Oh wait I did move my air temp sensor to the air inlet before the filter.
Any suggestions or comments about my list would be appreciated.

Kegger mod will cause you to lose some torque. The more of the runners you remove, the more torque you lose.
