I'm going to install a Web 251 camshaft that I've had for a few years. Will also bump up the CR to 11:1.

Should I install the cam straight up, or advance it 2 degrees, 4 degrees, etc?  I want to try it out primarily for the drag strip.

Anyone have experience with this cam?  The specs are similar to an FK89, as far as I can tell.

Thanks!

My current Raptor 06908 camshaft has more lift (10.8 mm/0.425") than the Web 251 (10.7 mm/0.420").

However the Raptor has a shorter duration (274 degrees @ 1.27 mm/0.050"). So I was looking at the advantage of having the intake valve open a bit longer with the Web 251 (285 degrees).

As it turns out, I had forgotten that my Web 251 was incorrectly ground...I think they used the smaller Type 4 spec in error.

I might try another Raptor with more duration, but CSP seems to be out stock at the moment.

Buy one directly from Johannes?

Yes, I will, however the JPM website has been off line for a few days, and CSP only lists advertised duration, so I'll have to get additional information on what cams are available from Johannes.

He'll do any custom cam also.

If you decide on a 251 , and the engine is for drag mainly, I would set it up in zero (108 lc) It does not need more spring pressure than an FK89 due to a better opening and closing ramp. Power wise I couldnt say which is the better 251 versus FK89. But the 251 seems to have a cleaner idle and pulls a tad earlier. At least that is what I have noticed.
