N/A Performance List

no one has tested them properly i think is the answer...

get the udp for now. maybe, just maybe we may have some real info on the wagner cams in the near future???

j-spec intake cam will be enough for a decent amount of power, but you will need a custom exhaust cam.

you should post, or create a list of excellent exhaust cam profiles, ranging from pure race, to comfortable street

the main difference would be lift. there is only so far you can go with duration. i feel that my exhaust cam is a good compromise between confortable street and pure race. duration is high, but lift isnt overly high. afterall, i have almost the same bottom end as the stock car but a slightly better top end

so take my exhaust cam. 220 deg duration at 0.050" valve lift. total valve lift = 0.3421"
take that down to say 0.300" lift and you'll have a like-stock cam (close). take that to 0.370" and you'll have a very agressive cam. take that to say 0.400" you'll have a circuit racing cam. take that to 0.440" and you'll have a drag racing monster that will need to rev to 9000rpm to get max power. in this example i keep the 0.050" valve lift a constant as the lift values change the duration specs at other points and 0.050" is a regularly found value on a lot of cam specs.

ps - i'd love to see jamie's car with the 0.400" + lift intake and exhaust cams (hint hint)

haha.....400" is higher than what I have for total lift...I never have my info in front of me, and since i didn't build the cams...I never remember the specs... but I vaguely remember something like .378" or so on the exhaust side...thats pretty hot, and it truely thumped up my idle a good bit (but that is the compression too)...but I was out revving its specs on the brake...the peak hp was right on 8k when I stopped, but I don't think the lift was killing it after that...it was more the overlap parameters were tuned for 8k, and scavaging quickly dies soon after...it was straight down as early as 8300rpm...which is fine, the engine will never see that high on the street anyway...also my intake piping, and possibly the intake manifold in general was fizzing out before the heads breathing was (exhaust wise)...exhaust note and pulse seemed to still be fine...My guess it was more of an intake velocity issue after that...

i'd love to know the specs of your cams!
