    Camshaft knowledge

    Hi I've got a Web 218 in by bus with stock ratio rockers (2054 with 044 supermags) C/R 8.5:1 and it is fantastic, such a torquey cam with a nice spread of power to about 5500rpm- great for a bus in my opinion, maybe worth a look- I got mine from Jim at Stateside Tuning. I also had an Engle 110...
