Description

Dynocams 308 Camshaft – Built for 224cc Engines & High RPM Performance


The Dynocams 308 Camshaft is a proven choice for competitive racers and performance builders running the Ducar 224 and Predator 224 Non-Hemi platforms. Engineered specifically to clear 58mm and 59mm crankshafts, this camshaft is ideal for Wildcat 223/240, EC’s 223–268cc stroker kits, and other large-displacement small engines.


Unlike standard 196cc/212cc cam cores—which often suffer from compression release interference with larger crankshafts—the 308 cam uses a 224 core to eliminate clearance issues while maintaining compatibility with most GX200-style clone engines. This includes the Predator 212 Hemi, Tillotson 212, Ducar 212, and Ghost 212.


Not compatible with Predator 212 Non-Hemi or Predator 224 Hemi engines.

FAQ

Q1: What engines is the Dynocams 308 Camshaft compatible with?

A: The 308 cam fits engines using the 224 cam core such as the Ducar 224, Predator 224 Non-Hemi, Wildcat 223/240, and EC Stroker builds (223–268cc). It also fits most GX200/Clone-style engines, including Predator 212 Hemi, Tillotson, Ducar 212, and Ghost 212, but does NOT fit the Predator 212 Non-Hemi or Predator 224 Hemi.


Q2: Why use a 224 cam core instead of a standard 196/212 core?

A: Standard 196cc/212cc cam cores often have clearance issues with larger crankshafts (58–59mm), especially at the compression release. The 224 core avoids this interference, ensuring a smooth fit and reliable operation in stroked or larger displacement engines.


Q3: What performance gains can I expect from the 308 camshaft?

A: The Dynocams 308 delivers a broad powerband with excellent mid-to-high RPM power (targeting 8200–8400 RPM). It’s a proven grind in Modified Clone classes, offering smooth throttle response, valve train longevity, and consistent high-RPM performance.


Q4: What components should be upgraded when running this camshaft?

A: At minimum, you’ll need:

  • Billet connecting rod
  • Billet flywheel
  • Upgraded valve springs (32 lbs+ recommended)

These upgrades ensure durability and prevent component failure at higher engine speeds.


Q5: Is this camshaft good for a beginner performance build?

A: Yes! The 308 cam is known for being valve train friendly and relatively forgiving compared to more aggressive grinds. It’s a solid choice for builders wanting a reliable cam that’s track-proven and easy to tune.


Q6: What kind of ignition timing should I run with this camshaft?

A: Set your ignition timing to 34 degrees BTDC for optimal performance with the Dynocams 308.
