THe hyd Mega cams and the solid Z profiles are by far my favorites...they simply work! Yes they are a little more but you get what you pay for. Never once since the 80s have I had 1 failure. Flat tappets both hyd solid, custom solid roller from them etc. The single pattern cams always seem to hit the hardest.
Here’s my last day with that cam in my old 408. I moved up to a big block stroker. Barracuda Dragcar: MOPAR to the FRONT! How I Won the #nonamenationals Bracket Race!#mopar #ahra ruclips.net/video/vUjl3jEyETw/видео.html
we live 3 miles north of the missouri / Arkansas state line hwy65 we got single digits and teen temps here for several days and about 15 " of snow total with about 3 foot snow drifts from patches of wind from out of the North northwest . we just got clear skys this morning and plows finally came through our paved wooded country subdivision. the rest of the week temps are support to climb to 45 by Monday 🙏😎👍. as always joe great video and awsome cam . stay safe everbody ✌
They forgot about my road and the two that connect it to the main highway. Also they didn’t do anything with the main highway. Hope y’all stay safe and keep power!
Thanks Duddie. It’s got a bit more lift than my current cam and the duration is pretty similar. The major difference is this one is solid lift and isn’t split lift. It should rev faster and be more suited for a Mopar! Also the rpm range is 3,000-7,000 vs my current that’s only 1,500-6,500. Definitely turning my street engine into a race engine.
I think what you're trying to say is your RV cam Mesa Port of big block but it takes all day to get up to speed. The cammies putting in has a quicker throttle response and we'll get up to speed faster.
Hot new cam extra 20 hp. Four isky racing stickers if installed properly extra 25 hp easy! ;-) looks like a pretty serious cam. Looking forward to hearing it make some noise.
Thanks! I have this in my Barracuda with 408/727/4.10 gear. It has 10.5/1 compression. I’ve tried Sunoco 110, 100 LL AV gas, and 93 octane. There was no changes in ET at the track.
Nice!! Being a car guy is so fun...we get Christmas all through the year...!!!🎁🤣 Here in WA, snow has kinda set the schedule back a week. Had planned on makin videos but was too busy shovelin and helpin everyone else...😞
That crap is everywhere! We are getting another round tonight and tomorrow. I’m trying to get back out today and finish my project up that I started yesterday.
@@JustMoparJoe IKR? Thankfully i had some good things happen the day "that crap"🤣 showed up that i can post soon!! We dont often get snow here so its just enough of a novelty to be fun...just wish my Stealth had been ready for some playtime in it!!!😞
@@JustMoparJoe yeah... My car is a bit low for the foot+ we got but... Heres what it WOULDVE looked like... 😁This is my cars twin.... ruclips.net/video/XHrnUhcQ-as/видео.html
Slightly convex! Yay and you can see it better when you but it on the side of the lifter. Love the special goo! They do have 3 bolt cams for mopar too. Can't wait to hear the sweet sound of a new cam!
Thanks brother! A hydraulic flat tappet cam has to pump up with oil to fully open Valves. A solid lifter is already at the top of it’s movement. Solid cams rev faster and are less forgiving on engines valve train. They require adjustable rockers and usually a better pushrod. The solid flat tappet is kind of the poor man’s race cam. 🤚🏻that’s me. The 273 in the car has a solid flat tappet from the factory.
My dad was always an Isky fan from back in the day. When we started bracket racing in 2008, we had Isky in both cars. He even tried calling bullet cams once(gave them the specs of his car, and they custom ground one for it. It lost .2 in the 1/8th mile. He was so mad, that he switched cams back the Monday after the races. 😂 That included pulling elephant ears and water pump, intake, carbs, linkage, readjusting rocker arms, trying to save the valve cover gaskets, working around the master cylinder in the 72 dart swinger.
Isky is one of the very few left that are still making their own cams/lifters, and is still owned by the family that started it. Employees are in the 30-58 year range of employment with Isky, so I put a lot of faith into their abilities, and have yet to find one person who's had a cam/lifter failure of their products.
@@Anarchy-Is-Liberty Same here, been running them since my first car in the 80s. Tried many other brands and had issues. Never with Isky. Crower also sells good quality pieces. Hope those 2 never sell out
Wow Joe! This is definitely a freak snow for us. They are talking about rolling black outs to save some electricity around here. Most houses are electric everything 🙃. Probably only an hour or so.
Nice .. I’ve never ever heard of the company for a camshaft .. where are they based outa ? An i take it they been around long time if your using there cam ? An I look forward to next videos an how that cam sounds in the engine running fornsure .. thanks joe An stay warm .. up here in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 she massive cold .. an jus got big big dumping in last 24 hours of snow ❄️.. gotta go put another log on the fire 🔥 bro !! Later 👍😁
Th are based out of California. Their lifters are made in Taylor Michigan and cams are made in house. They don’t advertise because they don’t have to. We’ve always ran Isky or Lunati in our cars. Hope y’all stay warm and safe up there! I’d love to visit....in the summertime 😄
Great video, this is a whole world that I have not encountered yet. I would love to learn about a cams duration, all that stuff. It seems extremely critical when you install it and to know about tolerance and even function. Keep up the great videos and content👍👍
Thanks Max Wedge. I could do a video attempting to explain it all, but would be laughed off the Internet. I’ll show when I check this cam for clearance, but with big valve reliefs, I have gone .550 lift with the same pistons I’m going to be using.
All small blocks are single bolt. Big difference to watch for is if the cam is for a Magnum itll be a short snout n won't be able to except a cam centric for a mechanic fuel pump. N bad weather (laughs in wisconsin)
My dad always said those are Chevrolet cams. I’ve never bought a comp. Their recent reputation is that they are Chinese cam and lifters. I’m not going to try and see.
@@JustMoparJoe Years ago, the lobe profiles were universal as to work with the smaller Chevrolet lifters, but not so much these days. Hughes was early to the real Mopar cam grind game. Chinese made, on the other hand, is a real problem in my book.
I usually call Isky directly. They do sell some kits to summit, that they keep stocked. Comp cams are usually about half the price. Definitely makes them more plentiful
Bullet cams is right next door...why would you shop in California?...I live here, and the shit cost too much. Too bad they make the best solid roller bushed lifters for BBM in the biz...man 950 for lifters is gonna hurt!
Bullet cams is fairly close, around 100 miles from me. They are going to balance my engine. Most don’t realize that they do. I’ve bought from them before, but We’ve always had better luck with Isky. Several track championships won between my Dad and I with an Isky solid lift cam. He had a bullet cam made custom to his engine once and lost time over his Isky. They chose the cam and sent it. He lost .2 in the 1/8th in his 440 dart swinger. They sent him another cam. He tried it with the same results. Swapped the Isky back in and never looked back. All were solid flat tappets.

Joe that t-shirt is karma. Love you brother keep up the good work.
Thanks Biggin! I’ve been talking too much in videos. It’s time for some results!
Awesome cam, even better hair!
Thanks Vic! Hopefully they both work well in the car 😂
Should be fun !!!!! Can't wait....
I sure hope so! I’m making good progress on the car while the sky falls outside. Y’all can have this stuff back!
@@JustMoparJoe We were raised right... share and share alike !
Awesome awesome, can't wait to hear it.
You and me both brother! Thanks for the support.
Very cool racing parts! Now, I'm no gas hot rod guy, so how rowdy is this cam? Most every thing I've owned has a standard RV cam in it haha

Man! I forgot that! It’s an easy 100 hp with the right placement of stickers 😅
Sweet dude can't wait to hear the motor.
Thanks brother! I’m gathering parts slowly but surely.
Great video, an Isky solid flat is probably the coolest cam out there IMO. Did you have to run race gas with that cam and 12:1 static?
Thanks! I have this in my Barracuda with 408/727/4.10 gear. It has 10.5/1 compression. I’ve tried Sunoco 110, 100 LL AV gas, and 93 octane. There was no changes in ET at the track.

Solid.What is the difference in a hydrolic lifter flat tappet and the solid lifter ?.Thanks for all the awesome videos,Oh yeah kick A$$ free shirt!

I'll have to say this is a good show for Isky, I've bought cams and you're right, they don't give you very much tech info for a good secure install.

Big ol cam
Did you get that black tool box from Wish?
My dad got it somewhere before he died. I just threw it in the table. It’s kind of a cheapo. Had kind of a thin bedliner or something on it.
A wise decision avoiding Com cams. So many people think they are the only cam company in the world. Makes me want to puke!

Sweet!!!
I’m ready to get started in it soon. Just a couple things ahead of it. Lol
I wonder where Isky gets their lifters?
I just looked. The website says Johnson lifters out of Michigan. Everything else says in USA all over it.
It’s hard to find isky cams. Most everything is comp cams
I usually call Isky directly. They do sell some kits to summit, that they keep stocked. Comp cams are usually about half the price. Definitely makes them more plentiful
She should rev up in a hurry . Can't wait to hear it .
Hoping to make a stroker rev up in a hurry! That should move it nicely 🤞🏻

They cost more cause they are worth it better quality
Cheap is never good no matter how fancy the advertising is
