N/A cam upgrade

[JerzeySlowpra]

Check the second thread shaeff posted, and if you have any more questions, just ask.

I was going to close this thread, but I think I can leave it open, if I closed it and something needed clarification, the old thread would get bumped, and then we'd be mad at an old thread getting bumped, lol.

I'll close it if the need arises.

The N/a camshafts are so cheap and easy to find in junkyards, I think it doesn't hurt much to try it out. Plus you get to adjust your valves, which is probably more worthwhile than the cam swap.

But to sum it up, let's put it this way. If you want better engine response and fuel mileage while using low gas pump octane (under 92 or so), and low boost levels use the N/a camshaft.

If you're building a "fast hobby car" that lives on big turbos, high octane gas, etc. than the stock turbo cam is a better choice.

But with a 10 hp difference in a 3700+ lb car (with driver) you'd be lucky to feel anything either way.
