Title: Good Cam ?
Post by: Johnnyvegasone on May 13, 2010, 03:51:20 PM

I have a 93 Commander 21' Berkley jet w/A impeller. 468ci stock guessing 275-300hp. 750CFM carb.  It turns 4400 rpms and goes 55mph with 2 people and ice chest.  Im going to rebuild the engine.  I want more speed.  I have a merlin head  ready to go and i'm planning on going full roller.  The cam i want is a Comp Cam, Extreme Marine # XM284HR: Cam & Kit.  I'm hoping for 500HP and 5500rpm.    Will this cam work?    Any thoughts anyone.  I dont know much about engine building and any comment is appreciated.
Happy Boating...     John

I can work with you on a cam that may work a little better, based on your combination of parts.  I will PM my phone number.  Are you planning on doing any pump modifications to get to the 5500 RPM?
