Cool Andy ...whatcha' got ? .. I am looking for a cam for my boat ... in the range of .530 to .600 lift.... with a "wicked" idle. And something that will run-up-to about 7500. There is a rat-motored jet boat on the lake here that I want scare-off ! WHY don't any of these manufacturers put any kind of part #'s on these sticks? ALSO ....I have heard of a LOT of different pricing on used cam a lifter packages .... is 1/3 of typical-retail about right?

IF I were to buy a used cam it would ONLY be a roller, never a flat or hyd....... JMO

I bought 2 used cam and lifter sets from a guy years ago.He ran Mopars and I used one for 6 years and it still looks great.The other I never used.They pretty much looked new when I got them.I think I paid like 25 bucks each.Rocky

I couldn't agree more. Buying a used flat tappet cam is like buying used underwear.
