What is this "street application" that you speak of..?

On 9-27-08 we lost a great friend and fellow racer, he was the BEST, he helped anyone with anything at anytime.  His name is Dave Owen and he will be missed by all that knew him and I am glad to have met him.

Seeing him at Bonneville during 2008 Speedweek was the tops, Dave was in awe of the salt and as usual was there helping out anyone who asked..simply put we lost a great man who will be missed by all.

I would contact one of the many cam manufactuers and ask one of them. In my V-8 days all my cams came from the Chevy dealers. My cam of choice was the "30-30" solid lifter when using a 4-speed. Hey it was the 60's................Good Luck

Yeah JD, Just for fun one day I put the 30-30 spec's into my engine computer program. It laughed at me and said " we've come a long way baby "

Funny you guys brought up the 30-30. That was my first thought when I saw the first post. Definitely old school with outdated specs but they sure sounded cool. Ran a few myself in the 70's.

  I would call comp cams myself but with that much compression on the street you might have to run a lot of duration to keep the low speed compression and knock down '' less effective compression''

       Good luck JL222

Get this..I still have a new one. 30-30 that is.  As a side note, if you have power brakes tell the cam co. 12-1 will be tough to keep from rattling on the street with out good gas.....once again good luck
