Comp Cams 163-000-5
Posted: November 14th, 2017, 3:01 am
So comp has a 99-01 cam core, numbered 163-000-5, but have they actually made anything with it, and is it a wide lobe?
Yes Comp has that cam core with the later style cam drive nose. It has the narrow lobe like the rest of their cams, but I and others have explained that it has no effect on camshaft durability.
I do carry that camshaft in one grind that is nitrided.
The one disadvantage of the later style cam is there isn't a double roller timing set that is currently made for it.
For that reason most of us choose to run the early style cam
Thanks,
