Default Anyone running a precision cam?

Just put a precision cam and double valve springs in my 23 vanguard just wondering if anyone has used one and did you need a high torque starter?

I didn't get a good look, you better make some more video......lol!

Sometimes larger gauge battery cables to the starter/block can give the starter more power.

Heat is wasted power. I hear you I still don't have the video of the clone I wanted, you know roosters and all that.

I went to the local parts store, and bought a battery cable with eyelets on each end... And went that way. No way did I trust the smaller cables

Most of the performance cams delete the compression release, makes it harder for the starter.

A little racing-trick,run a toggle-switch for your ignition.Hit the starter,get the motor spinning,then flip the switch.It works awesome on cars with big-compression and 38 degrees timing.With the compression and timing they won't roll-over easily,but with the ignition disabled they spin like crazy.We ran stock GM starters in the stock-car with that set-up and it fired like a daily-driver even after a long race.Also an added security-device!Hope this helps.
