Lightbulb The right cam for my 48IDA system
Hello to everybody from Switzerland ! I'm in the process of installing my 48IDA system and I come up with a typical question: What cam should I use ? I think that the original cam that is currently running on my 347 is fine and would do a good job in connection with the 48IDA system: The specs are:

Advertised duration: 288 intake/288 exhaust
Duration @ .050 in. cam lift: 226 intake/226 exhaust
Gross valve lift: .512 intake/.512 exhaust
Lobe separation: 109 degrees intake/119 degrees exhaust
Peak horsepower rpm: 6,000
Peak torque rpm: 2,800
Fair idle

It's a Ford Motorsport roller tappets camshaft (M6250F303).

What is your oppinion ? Any help and suggestions are appreciated.

Best regards,
