Hey everyone, trying to find all the options for cams. I know WW has one. Mr Motörhead has his, I have yet to know what he offers though. Joe Ruiz said that WW has a “stage 2” cam but they say that they never have had one. I’m not looking for a custom deal. Just want to know what is out there and if I’m going to need to rockers from speedwell of not with it. Thanks!!

Here are some explanations hidden in the vintage speed forums for cam specs.

Hello,

I'm also building a 36hp stroker and searching for the best cam.
Engine will be a 1601ccm with modified Okrasa heads and fired by two 36NDIX carbs.

I have here a Stage 2 and WW cam, but no Stage 1.

@Mr. Motorhead: Do you have some more detailed specs to your Stage 1 cam or the missing lobe center for Stage 2 cam?

Here a short overview about the dates I have figured out for .040”:
I'm uncertain for the specs of Stage 1 cam, so please correct me. :?:

--------------------Stage 1---Stage 2---WW
Intake Opening-----------------17°-----12°
Intake Closing------------------45°-----42°
Exhaust Opening---------------49°-----42°
Exhaust Closing-----------------7°------12°
duration intake-----235°------242°-----234°
duration exhaust---------------236°----234°
Lobe center---------108"----------------105"
Valve lift intake-----330"------325"-----345"
Valve lift exhaust--------------302"-----345"


Always aircooled!
Martin
