Im thinking of the Crow Stage 3 camshafts for my BA xr6t sedan t56 manual.

 

Ive brought a Crow cam in the past for a 4.1L crossflow quite some years ago, the cortina it went into went very well, but I was not overly impressed with the cam when installing it as the cams casting dags were fowling on the rod bolts and required removal of cam to grind the casting down.

I expected a better quality finish, maybe I was unlucky and Crow had missed the clean up process on the dags.

 

How have you guys found the quality of the Crow barra cams?

Being billet cams I'd be expecting them to be a good quality product.

 

Also, from the specs I believe they are a good option for my setup.

Application street use with fun circuit days and odd drags.

 

Only spinning it to 6500rpm (factory crank)

Built engine.

G35-1050 Garrett turbo

Lots of headwork including large ferrea valves.

All the goodies to push the g35-1050 to its max.

 

What do you reckon, the Crow stage 3 cams a good option or do you believe theres a better option?

I've used crow cams in LS style applications twice and didn't have any issues found them to be a decent cam and they are of good quality.... had no install issues either 

 

one of the pros is sure to chime in but im

planning using Kelford cams on my Barra people are Getting good results and joe from cms also rates them as a good cam.

 

In regards to grind spec I'm fairly sure crow advertise the rpm range of the stage 3cam at 3200-6500 rpm so not a bad cam but seeing as though your manual I would personally be going with the stage 2 cam but that's just my 2 Cents

I personally wonder how the Kelford 218-A would go. My objectives are different to you guys though. I want tyre shredding response, and 600rwkw
