Lizzord30 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 I wouldnt upgrade your cam yet IMO and I noticed you dont have exhaust system on your list(maybe just forgot it) But I would do that before anything else, and for sure dont want to upgrade cam without upgraded exhaust.

Skullzaflare Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 looks like by build bill just went down by about 120$.. thanx guysthe cams your looking at require you to mail in your cam, they grind them down. i had them make me a 294h, loved the sound, but had no bottom end (although it did make the 20g at idle sound like a jet, dont think the turbo liked how much air it got at idle lol) again, best bet is the stock cam, there are dynos on this site somewhere on a page that compares cams to a stock cam with the same setup. you loose ALOT of torque going with a bigger cam, but gain a little hp, i dont think its worth loosing 100tq for 20hp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryvodder Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 too bad there isnt a way to get the awesome cam sound without the low end loss..XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotStock88 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 dont upgrade the cam until you get rid of the tiny turbine housing and get a bigger fuel system along with a good 3" exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caliber308 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) You guys are killing me I run a Roller cam set up and a TDO5H 17C with excellent results. To the poster: Contact Tim C. on this website about upgrading your camshaft. Also, if you plan on taking the 14b above stock boost levels....Upgrade your fuel set up.

He is running a 2 1/2" exhaust system, Same as I am. Re-read his post Bill Edited May 29, 2012 by Caliber308 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzord30 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 He is running a 2 1/2" exhaust system, Same as I am. Re-read his post Bill Pretty sure he added that after the post. While I do think it can run well with a roller setup like you have, I think its not really that much of an upgrade, the stock cam is not super bad like a lot of cars have stock. On a side note could run a roller stock setup like the later Magnas had, if you want stock but improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I've run it up to 7000 rpms with a lighten flywheel without any valve float. I do agree with the poster needing a upgraded fuel set up.

scott87star Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Roller cams are nice! Cal sold me his 1.5 ratio roller rockerss for my aussie roller and its super smooth. On the way to and from the last meet in Little Rock I got over 30 mpg both ways and that's not strict freeway driving, part of that is the roller cam setup and part of that is other things I've done. I've got a Tim C cam on my MPI car as well, again super smooth running. BUT don't expect miracles from a cam when you are running a tiny turbine.
