Posted August 20, 200321 yr comment_47398 Has anyone used a Isky Cam brand on their Z? Looking on using their stage II on my daily driver.

August 20, 200321 yr comment_47418 I'm running the Isky L-480 on a bored out L24, E31 head w/ larger valves installed. Its a nice cam. Has a lope at idle. Isky has been in business for a long time and they also make the Nissan L7 and L9 race cams which are the Isky L-475 and L-490I paid $180 and thats for the internally oiled camshaft. Crane Cams have gone up in price, $322 ouch!You can call Isky and ask them about there cams. There is one guy I talked to who is very knowledgeable on Z's, sorry I don't remeber his name.Mike Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/7566-isky-cams/#findComment-47418 Share on other sites More sharing options...

August 21, 200321 yr Author comment_47463 Would do you think the Isky L-490 cam is too much for the SU+sm needles carbs fuel supply?JB Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/7566-isky-cams/#findComment-47463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 21, 200321 yr comment_47465 I don't think the L-490 would be too much for that setup. When I talked to Isky they actually recommended the L-490. I went with the L-480 because I didn't want to get too much cam. Be sure your compression is around 10:1. You will also need to use performance springs since the lift will be well over .460Mike Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/7566-isky-cams/#findComment-47465 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 21, 200321 yr Author comment_47468 Thanks, Doing the shaved P90 shimed tower and springs setup. Will get their springs and retainers prices online are pretty good.

August 21, 200321 yr comment_47470 Check with Lynchburg Nissan 800-443-2117 and ask for Riley. He is a great Z parts manager and their prices are very competitive. I bought just about everything for my rebuild from there.Mike Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/7566-isky-cams/#findComment-47470 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 22, 200321 yr comment_47511 I have used Isky for 40+ yrs and I think the co. and there cams are 1st rate. A friend of mine built a 4 engine dragster and used Iskys. Two engins ran clockwise and tow counter clockwise. That was light yrs ago but if a co is still in business you know they know what they are doing. Crane has been around a long time also , I would check them both out , and get the grind that sutes you best!
