I have question concerning a type of camshaft and was wondering if anyone has used 1 of them.Back in late 70's and early 80's we ran this brand quiet often,they were called AP.And 2 the best of my knowledge they came in AP2,AP3,AP4.I havent seen any of these camshafts lately.Does anyone know of these and who makes them,where to gettem etc,etc.They were a good performance cam from what i can remember :!:

Those are old school cams by Resolite they offered 3 of them AP2, AP3, AP4. An AP3 was .264 duration, .318 lift. I think they were regrinds.

Thanks for the info,I couldnt remember,but what i do remember is that we mostly ran the AP3,and that it seem to have a real choppy idle to it but it did perform well in the condition and terrian we rode which was mostly iron ore mines and power lines etc in NW Alabama :D Thanks again for the reply and any more info would be great :!:

I found that out when I was searching for a DDS 11-1101 cam specs. The DDS 11-1101 is 262 duration @ .050 lift and .484 lift w/ 1.1 rockers in a 2332 it pulled like an very angry freight train. It was between a VZ 30 and VZ 35. Only drawback off road was the dual 48IDAs. At least these days FI will make them alot more useable in the rough than the 48IDAs did.
