Anderson cams

[351capri]

I have notice a couple of you guys on here run these anderson cams, like deepstage and i think Vibrant 93 does also. And for running N/A, those are some impressive times, so im curious about these cams. What is the link to their site? And how is the pricing compaired to other brands, my car is going to get a cam change someday, so im just starting to do reasearch. The cam i have not is a Comp extreme energy hydraulic, Specs are 541/544 lift int/exh, 284/296 adv duration, 240/246 duration @ .050 i think. I will have to change springs cause the ones in my AFR 185s are only good to .550 lift, i just think there is room for improvement there, i have also heard that FTI cams are a good piece also. What do you guys think?

I also run a "ANDERSON HI REV HYD. ROLLER " I love it. Its not a NA cam but I ran a 11.30 at a 119.00 on the motor and a 10.34 on 150 shot of spray w/ a nitrous cam and a bad clutch in a mild 306 from him. Just get your heads flowed, call Rick at Anderson Ford in IL. He'll have you fax him the flow numbers and cut you a cam for $300.00. "ds5dot" also runs a anderson cam, and ran a 10.16 at 133.00 w/ a 343 ci.

roast'em and lesnovr also have anderson cams. i think they are a really good company and know a ton about the 5.0/351.
i have a FTI cam, and i am 100% happy with it. they also have drop-in spring packages to get more lift out of your 185's without going to longer valves or anything. i found about the fti springs from calling AFR, and afr actually were the ones that referred fti to me. i have their springs on my 185s.
but i think fti and afm are the top guys. i also have an afm powerpipe.

FTI cams tend to be fairly aggressive. It depends what you want from Ed. My FTI cam did not idle so well and you'll hear that from others too, but that's a price you pay for power. Every car is different too, how one cam idles in one car may be different than another car due to maf transfer function fluctuation, oxygen sensor condition, throttle body adjustment, EGR function,,,,,,,,,,you get the picture. Ed's cams definitely make power and do what they are intended for. My brothers old 306 was running 11.4's with one and ran great.

I switched from my FTI cam to the Anderson cam to see if the car would idle any different. It helped a bit but I also changed some stuff in the PMS which could have accounted for it. Even though the Anderson HI REV cams are fairly aggressive, the N71 is not as aggressive as my FTI cam but it does run very smooth and has good street manners.

You'd do yourself a favor to get a spring height checker. When I installed my Anderson cam and new springs, I found my installed height was a little more than I had thought. At my height, the seat pressure was at the very low end from the recommendations. Next year if I keep the same combo, I will be shimming them a little.

You really can't go wrong with either choice. Bear in mind that Anderson has a limited number of cams and having someone like Ed from FTI, Jay Allen, or Buddy Rawls make you a custom grind can only help.

For a street driven 347, the N71 cam is an excellent choice. Don't fall for the "I need a bigger cam" mentality. If you want it to run good and idle, you need to match your cam with your engines capabilities. You don't need an Anderson N91 cam in a mostly street driven car that only turns 6500 rpms. I've proven that. Even in a 347. Jesse (vibrant93) runs an N91 in his 306 but he spins it very high and has the head and intake flow to match. It's all about the intended use and combination.

Thanks for your info fellas . I really dont understand much about efi, all i got is a Holley 700 dp on top of a victor jr intake. My best ET is 11.48 @ 118. And deepstage, seeing what mph your running, i would think there would be room for improvement in mine, and my car weighs 2920 without me in it. Oh, and my comp ratio is like 9.8:1

For what its worth I really like my afm stuff but I will say that when I dealt with Ed @ FTI a few years back for an older combo he was a really nice guy to deal with. He was very helpful and wanted to make sure that I had the right cam and that I was happy with it. Like Paul said, you really cant go wrong with most of the big name grinders.

I've got an N41 Anderson cam. It definitely makes power. I'm happy with it.

My friend Jason (Jasonn on this site) has a FTI hydraulic roller cam in a 410 ci windsor, that thing made 519 hp and like 528 tq. And i tell you what, the throttle responds is awesome, mine dont react like that. I luv da trottle responds.

I have a B41 cam, IT makes no power. Well untill I ram some air down its throat!


DSS uses and recommends AFM cams.

All the CAMS with N in front of them are usually N/A cams and those with B's are blower or power adder cams.

I have Andersons on the Yellow one. Small supercharger cams, not sure whether i like them yet or not.

I thought the N signified it was a nitrous cam? It really favors the exhaust side. Oh well, I didn't really pay anything for it. It was one I Tried had laying around. It works.

Tony, that cam you have now is a hyd. flat tappet. I think the switch over to a hyd. roller by Anderson, FTI, or whomever is going to benefit you, period. I had that exact same cam, the 284h and went from 117mph to 122mph with my FTI hyd. roller.
