competition cams energizer 270 h works great with a stock 350 4bbl lots of low end and the 4 barrells sing real crisp too barely lumpy

jhama78, who cut that cam? Have you run that motor yet? No prob with the valve clearence? I like the specs of that cam, I ruined my old cam, had pretty close to the same specs and want to rebuild it. I hope to have my 383 in my Blazer by the end of the year.

The cam came from

PBM performance products
7301 Global drive
Louisville Ky 40258

I havent run it yet but hope to within the next two weeks. My biggest obstacle is that I am 50 miles away from my truck during the week so I cant work to get it ready except for the weekends. Ill letcha know how it does once I get everything together and running.

have you checked the valve clearance with the 1.6's yet?

I spoke with the guy that helped me build the engine and he is completely confident with this combination.... I guess we'll see what happens if things arent matched correctly....

Mines a reground ZZ4 roller cam in a late vortec engine. Here is the Desktop dyno file I used when planning it.

.465 lift with 270* duration is pretty close to where we ended up. I can't find the cam card right now, but it's not too far off.

I'm running almost the same cam. But a little more duration. Flat top pistons with small reliefs, about .005 out of the hole. With no problems.

Go for it! Great cam for a 383.

Good to hear man

HeyBeerMan · 02-19-2003, 05:35 AM

It was pretty acurate on my current motor. Witch I have had dynoed. And the Hp / Tq curve was very close. The only unknown was the actual flow numbers of my heads.

On the motor I'm building now I have had the heads on a flow bench, so I can punch in the actual flow numbers. It should be real close.

The best thing is you can see how different cams will effect your set up. Cool shit!

bigmack · 02-19-2003, 07:58 AM

My engine is a .030 over 400 SBC not a 350 but here is the specs on the cam that I have in it. It is a Crane Energizer 282H06. It has .470 lift, 282 Adv.duration, 226 duration at .050, & 106 lobe seperation, with 1.5 rockers. I have an old version of desktop dyno and it puts my engine at 347 HP, and 465 TQ. It has a good choppy idle and sounds good, but might be a little large for a 350.
