Hi Guys,

I have managed to track down the specs on the rebuilt 308 in my HJ LS Coupe I am restoring. It apparently has a Megatorque Stage 3 Cam in it and as I am not familiar with the brand can anyone shed any light on it?? it has some serious lump too it! Maybe a little too much for a stock auto!
Cheers,
Allan

Megatorque is produced by Crow Cams. Call them and they can fax you a spec sheet.

Man, thats a pretty tame motor with a cam thats meant for that rev range. Sounds very mismatched. Hopefully its not that big!

I agree! But I think the bloke who gave me the engine rebuild details may have got the rpm range wrong on the cam. I have since found that Crow make Megatork cams and the biggest one they have for the 308 operates in the 2400-5400 range. Unfortunately

If the cam is designed to work in the range you say, (2400 - 5400)it shouldnt be too big. Probably around 220degrees @ .050"and around .500"lift. Also this sounds more like a reasonable cam for the rest of the engine combination.
Perhaps a good tune up,
