Hey guys, I just picked up a modified 2010 that has a custom cam from 187 customs. I just got the specs of cam and lift seems a little high for what I'm used to seeing in LSA motors but I am still not super knowledgeable about them. It's specs are 231/242 .640/.615 116.5+3. I know with how it sits with that cam the brakes suck, there isn't enough vacuum at idle and slow speeds to stop this thing. I had a BTR STG 3 in my 2011 and that thing just worked, sounded great, no brake problems and made power.
Next question, what all would be involved if I wanted to just change the cam, I know I would need front timing cover gaskets, but would oil pickup tube have to be removed and can all that just be moved to the side or out of the way and then I guess just pull the rockers and pushrods so I can push dowels thru to hold up lifters. I did my 2011 cam swap back in 2017, just been a while.
