    What camsshaft?

    Hi, was looking at your camshafts and was wondering if you could recommend one. I have l-body with 2.5, it has forged pistons, 782 head with +1 valves (from you!) that is being ported by a local guy, hy35 with 1.5" primary tube header, 2 piece lower with box upper, a/a intercooler. It is a 523 3.50 fd tranny with obx diff. If you need additional info let me know. Thanks.

    Re: What camsshaft?

    Kinda uncool to go in another vendors forum and tout the competitions products..... but I'm pretty easy going so I will let it slide....

    To the OP:
    With the port work and holset, you can take advantage of the f3 camshaft. Use that if it's more a daily driver/weekend warrior. If you use it mostly for racing, and limited street use, then go with our F4 camshaft.
    later,
    Cindy

    When set-up properly the F4 cam is totally streetable. I'm making at least 30 more WHP on 3-4 psi Less boost with just a cam swap with the F4.

    Whatever you do, when it comes to cams, go with something Proven. Not all cams are going to give good gains like this!

    Re: What camsshaft?

    When you say streetable it is daily driver material? What valve springs are you running with the F4? I have a set of the P3412068 springs already. When does the cam start to work and do you have it degreed straight up?

    Re: What camsshaft?

    +1 on the F4

    in a 2.5L youd prolly see max boost by 4k
    very streetable!!!! the hp gain is def worth it over the little loss of low end grunt....which helps try to keep that 2.5 under traction

    id get the F4 if I ever purchased a new camshaft....but thats just me....

    Cindy, fix your linking to your site,

    I'd pick a cam that would move your powerband up alot, otherwise your car won't be any fun around town.
