Title: Real world experience with CB2289 cam? Post by: Jim Ratto on March 02, 2010, 21:48:28 pm I have a side project I will be working on, another 94 x 78 pump gas 9.7:1, ratio rocker deal... considering the 2289 for this guy. Those of you that have run this in your weekend bombers, give me your real world impressions. If you've run both, how does it stack up against 86C?
thanks for any feedback Title: Re: Real world experience with CB2289 cam? Post by: TexasTom on March 03, 2010, 00:47:09 am .
Title: Re: Real world experience with CB2289 cam? Post by: stretch on March 03, 2010, 14:44:50 pm Jim, I run that cam in my engine. 94 x 84. I was a little wary at first that i would be too peaky for the road, but, it's great, starts to make power low down & will rev and rev, if you want to.

My prospect pulled the plug on the deal. Says he can buy his own stuff and build it on his own, much cheaper. Too bad he has no idea WHAT I was going to set him up with, same motor as mine, but a little more "ragged edge." Oh well sans souci. Maybe I'll stick the 2289 in my '67.
