is there a difference between crane cams and the zex ones.....im planning on getting new ones and just wanted to know....and what is the difference between the numbers...i think the grind number??....and which would give you the best power output....preferably not to much money though

 

What cams are you considering, I know Crane makes about 4 different grinds for the neon, I am not sure about Zex.

 

im not sure what kind to consider....thats why im asking, but i just wana know which will give the best power output...and being that i dont know anything about the grind i cant help you there

 

E mail me a list of your mod's and we will help you pick out a camshaft if your interested .

Cranes are proven in the neon and other applications also. I'd go with them.

 

What cam to get depends on what mods you have, what mods your gonna do, and if you are planning a turbo or not.

 

not planning on turbo anymore....but i would like high revving, and the block is gonna get bored 20 over and i want either 10.5 or 12.5 compression....new pistons and rods, new valves...and all that other junk

 

The crane #14 would probally be a good choice. Check out Modern performance.

 

I thought #14's were more for turbo engines? I think most people like the #16's and can still manage everyday driving. Don't go with the #10's or #12's, not worth the money.

 

Don't you have the DOHC Spud?

Zex (aka Comp Cams) doesn't make any for the DOHC last I checked. There's Crane and Crower. Most people go with Crane. With 10.5:1 compression, you could run #22's and not have idle issues... I wouldn't try running 12:1 or higher on the street. I'm sure it's doable, but that's a lot of timing to pull just to run pump gas...

Best of luck!
