318 cam upgrade

[RustyRatRod]

if you got the compression for it! (or gears!)

very lackluster in a wheeze bag 318

Wheeze bag. I gotta add that to my list. lol

short duration and .440-450 lift.

Mopar Performance made a cam right on top of that. It was a goodun, too.

That's why I recommended the Summit 6901. It's the same thing.

The melling 23203 is 444 465 lift IIRC

It's a a little different. Depending on measuring levels, the summit cam may have faster ramps if both are advertised from the same lift point

I agree with the Melling comment. They can make some respectable power with other bolt ons. It's a good grind for the dough.

I love these threads. A bunch of suggestions for cams and generally in the same ballpark.

I sold the used 214/224 cam out of my 340 years ago. Wish I still had it and would have put it in the 360 for the Aspen R/T. Oh well.

I love um too but generally, the advice either falls on deaf ears or gets lost with gurus always saying there's something "better". News flash. There's always something "better". LOL

seconded-ed

good cams at a good price, decent power and they don't beat up the valve gear too bad.

some of the melling ramps are pretty lazy. also, i know some of their older grinds are measured like the old MP stuff-- only they know how and where they start!

not any kind i've ever had.


.... okay, that's not entirely true...

i think from memory that's what i have for my 318. except i have 1.6 prw rockers so the motor'll 'think' it has more cam, lol.

I wouldn't run a Summit cam. Not now.
