Does anyone have the Tickford 220kw cam specs, I want to compare cam grinds from Wade, I am going to get a standard roller cam reground to either 992A specs or Tickford 220Kw to suit standard roller lifters with a smaller base circle in a 69 302W not a 5.0L roller block.

I am going to be using turbos with this cam.

I would have sworn I posted a post similar to this today in this section, but I mustn�t have as it isn�t here now?

I am sorry this not really answering your question but whay would you use a reground cam?
get a new cam ground to the specs you want much safer,better !

He needs a re-ground for it has to be a smaller bass circle cam due to shorter lifter bores..
Remember he's using the old non roller block...

comp cams make cams to suit anything !
i bet most major cam manufacturers do the same thing
never put a reground cam in a high reving hp engine
it will be a hand grenade !

Already had a few replies from Wade with prices, as you can see these profiles are not for high RPM nor will I be needing to pull high rpm because I will be using turbos.

For a trade price on a Wade reground roller to suit smaller base circle.

Quote:

The trade price to grind your cam to the 992A is $137.00 + GST with freight payable both ways at your end. The only other thing that we would need to point out is that there are occasions when the cam needs re-heattreating. This almost doubles the price. We have to send the cam to Queensland for induction hardening. This is not always required.

i know its your money but ask any engine builder would they use a reground cam in any type of performance engine..........i dont think i need to tell you the answer !

347 yes you are right but this is the only way a roller can be run in the old flat tappet motor.. Besides with a roller they are relativly lobe friendly, though I'd use the steel camshaft...
In U.S this is done on alot of engines, esp street..

347 · 08-16-2003, 06:54

it is not the only way
ring comp cams or crane cams in the u.s and they will tell you what you need !
reground cams are bad, wrong and costly
