Comp XE258HR12 cam, spring, and lifter kit on eBay

Post by cgrey8 » Tue Jan 10, 2012 11:15 am

For someone looking for a used Windsor performance roller cam that will idle well, pass emissions, and have some decent low-end torque, the Crane Powermax 2030 is a decent pick. It's listed on eBay for $165 Buy It Now...no bidding.
eBay>Crane 2030 Cam

BTW, no I'm not the seller. I just spotted it while looking for other stuff and thought I'd pass along the buy. Deals on used Crane Powermax cams don't come around often.

The seller dropped the price to $135. This is a GREAT deal on a very nice street cam...assuming your heads can handle the relatively high lift of this cam.

These are very hard to come up. I actually lucked out, which never happens, and picked up my 2031 right before Crane went out of business.

Cam still not sold and the price is dropped to $125. This is an exceptional deal for someone looking for their performance daily driver.

I did tell the guy I'd love to buy the cam for myself, but it's just not worth $125 TO ME since I already have the Crane 2020 and have no plans for a build after this 331 to use it in. So it'd actually be a shame for me to have it collecting dust in my basement if there's someone else out there that could actually run and enjoy it.

There's another Crane Powermax cam on eBay. It's a Powermax2020.
eBay>Crane Powermax2020

It was priced over $200, but has gradually been dropping in price. It was $185 for a while and it appears today it just dropped to $169. My guess is they'll continue to drop the price until it gets a bite. If you want/need one of these, this is a decent price. Anything less than $150, is a great price for one of these...assuming you need a high lift, low RPM/high torque cam. The 2020 is best suited for trucks and people looking for best off-idle performance, but not necessarily high RPM performance.

I say this isn't a high RPM performance cam, but Ken Collins, the guy that makes and produces the BadShoe Production videos uses this Powermax 2020 cam in his car which he drag races. I don't know what kind of numbers he gets, but he seems quite content with its performance on and off the track when I talked to him last. If I had any plans to track race, I'd probably default to the 2030.

To put it in "somewhat" perspective for someone possibly considering. The earlier/larger 2030 specs out very close to the B-21 I run and it made pk power at 5750 and pk tq at 4300 last year, and pulls clean to 6500. Now the 20 looks to be more like a "performer" as you were stating, more of a rv/towing type.

Another one of these cams up on eBay. This one is a:
Crane Powermax 2030. <-click

The best part is, this one is starting at $90. But there doesn't seem to be a Buy-It-Now option. It's a straight-up auction.

Good stuff for someone that needs this kind of cam and can use it.

An interesting find on eBay. It's not a Crane, but a Comp Cam kit. It's an XE258HR-12 with springs AND new Comp hyd lifters!!! Reserve of $350 ain't bad for this kit. If you need a "torque" cam, this is a GREAT find:
