Engle w-110, I think e110 is someone trying to shortform the part #. I think they are are a great cam, get new lifters too.

The numbers that you are looking at are a grind number (w110) and a part number (e6110). Hope it helps. That cam will work great for that set up. Max out at about 5000rpm to 5500rpm. Add some heads and balance the motor put 1.25 rockers and do some valve geometry. "zoom zoom"

Ive built two 1776cc with 110 cams and it makes a great daily driver with some punch. I get 25mpg all the time with dual Kads.

I think Jake is alluding to the quality control problems that Engle cams seem to have compared to Web. Best practice is to check every cam out thoroughly, but if you trust them out of the box you'll have the best success rate with Web.

Thanks for your help. I have some Mofoco 042 heads on it, it was a mofoco longblock. Im planning a 110 am Scat 1.25 rockers and the Scat high performance lifters with the oil galley to lube the cam lobe. Thanks again

14 bad cams in one year from supplier "A" and one bad cam in 330 from supplier "B" after it costs you 9,000 bucks in one year you don't get bitten again....

With 34 Weber ICT's the Engle 110 will run a little rough at and off idle, especially if you don't have any port work done. It will still run good, but I think there are better choices for a cam if you are running ICT's. Looking at cam specs, I'd say that Web makes better cams for your application. They have a better selection of mild and stock ratio rocker arm cams. Give Web a look!

webcams are a great choice, but they are no guarantee of anything.

what jake raby failed to mention is that just a few days ago, he participated in a thread on the clf where there were multiple people posting about flat webcams.

i just got back from the race in texas, where david crow couldn't run his ghia in the biggest pro stock payout in history, because his webcam went flat at the track.

he also indicated that the webcam he had in there before that was apparently not properly radiused in the corners when webcam stroker-clearanced it, and it started cracking there... he was thankful that he caught it in time.

What Jake Raby mentioned was based on his experience...not hear say from the cal look forum....

there are many, many reasons that cams can go flat, most of which are all attributed to the wrong lifter hardness...or cam hardness, or both...

web cams do go flat from time to time, but they don't with me.....

What is the Web cam equivalent to the Engle 110?

as opposed to jake raby hearsay? lol!

david crow has been racing vw's for what, 30 years or something? you should pay attention, jake, you might actually learn something.

like, for instance, it's probably not the cam that fails... the lifters start pitting first, which sooner or later takes out the cam.

that's why everyone on the clf corrected you by agreeing that you can't always tell when a cam is going flat just from checking valve lash.

the other thing is that scuttlebutt has always said that pretty much all aftermarket cams are sourced from the same blanks.

so jake, unless you have info to the contrary, it would appear that webcams are no different than engles or anything else.

what may be different is possibly the lifters themselves... and most definitely the lack of zddp and other anti-scuff agents in modern engine oils.
