?--DOES anybody have expieriance with the 296A cam by CRANE!---HOW does a relatively stock machine like it & PROS & CONS.---THANK-YOU IN ADVANCE---RICHIE

[caschnd1]

I've put almost 100K miles on my panhead with a 296A cam. I like it. It's not a super aggressive "lopie" cam. Starts are very easy with it. I'm running Wiseco pistons which makes ~8.5:1 CR with the 296A. It's been a trouble free cam for me.

EDIT: One thing to note... I believe you have to install a later cam bearing (needle type) in the case to use the 296A. If I recall it won't work with the stock bushing.
