I'm planning on putting a new cam in this 3.1 that's going in my '89. I need to find one that increases power from lowend to topend. Or real close. It has a jet chip in it now. It will have an FFP chip and u/d pulley. BTW, it's a 5-speed, if that matters. Also, I'd like it to work with the stock valvetrain. I'm not looking to sink alot of money in it right now.

In summit racing, they have 2 cams. Both are crane cams brand, heres the description.

Cam number 1: RPM range- 1000-4000 Intake and Exhaust Duration @ .050- 198* and 204* Intake and Exhaust gross lift- .401" and .423"

Cam number 2. RPM range- 1500-4500 Intake and exhaust duration @ .050- 204* and 214* Intake and Eshaust gross life- .423" and .423"

Both are $159.95, and come with lifters and assembly lube, as stated in the Summit Racing Catalog. Hope this helps.

Question for ya'll-

 

On those aftermarket cams, what do they mean by "rpm range: 1000 to 4000"? Does that mean that those cams redline at 4000? or does it just mean that normal driving should stay within those bounds? If it does redline at 4000, then why does the stock cam redline around 6000 (for the n/a 3.1 MPFI)?

I think it's just telling you where the new CAM is going to make the most difference
