Thread: Jet boat cam suggestions?

  1. #1
    vee-driven
    I need suggestions on a cam for a jet boat, i am throwin together a 10-1 454 with edelbrock aluminum square port marine heads and probably a performer rpm intake and i am going to install a hydrolic roller cam, the boat isn't going to be a speed machine, just a healthy cruiser. I dont think it matters just as long as it is in the normal operating rpm range. I would like any suggestions. thanks

    The Isky Custon I have has great response,and great power in my oval-port headded 8:1 CR 454 up through 5-grand (5400 on Nitrous)
    It's a custon I got from DuaneHTP at Hi-Tech Performance.
    Basically it's an Isky 280H (.565" lift, 280* seat duration) but with very aggressive ramp rates. This is the 3rd year, and I still love it

    Sounds like I may have some good advice for you. I am running really close to 11:1 compresion with a 280 High lift 231 @ 50 Comp Cam. Some say its to mild for them but it sounds great and performs great. I feel you would be more than pleased with this cam. Good luck and happy boating.

    Jet boats love a lot of duration Keep the lift reasonalible and it will last you a long time.
