It would be an upgrade. The 310-2 Max compression would be 9.8:1. They are a good cam for a lighter bike..

Extremely similar to an Andrews EV27. Made for lighter bikes comes on very good around 2700 with a very good mid-range and should carry to 5500. Has an lsa of 102* which is better for low to midrange.. Much better than the Kury.

any drawbacks with this cam???? if and when I swap the new kury cam for the crane i'll basically have new cam upgrade wit very little invested as long as it's a solid choice for a conservative rider looking for more torque than the stocker cam!!!

mate I read your questions and 98hotrodfatboy answered them in depth.
He said it would be a good upgrade over the kury cam and told you their optimum comp set up and rev range they work in. What else do you want answered?

I have crane cams and they are fantastic, a different grind to what you are looking at though
