Ok... with my header and adjustable cam gear on there way.... the new camshaft and valve springs should be shipping in a week or 2.

I have aquestion for anyone who has put in a new camshaft.... Has anyone found a good setting? I know the stock cams are supposed to be 110 degree straight up, but im wondering if someone could give me some ideas to try out on my new #0012 crane cam that should be arriving by the end of the month.

 

Without knowing what you have done to your car i cant tell but i have found 10 grinds to work better for NA if you have time you might be able to change your order or a 14 grind would just be insane.

 

its all in my profile...

Header(coming), Exhaust, CAI, and 60mm TB (just the intake and exhaust mods)

I'm hoping to see a decent gain from the cam, so even using the stock cam settings might benefit me with a few extra ponies.

(p.s. I do plan on doing some headwork in the near future)

 

What degree does the cam maker say you should set it at with your mods? The manufacture should have a good idea where to set the cam degree.

 

I can't find anything on the net. I was hoping someone here might have divulged some time into it aside from myself (soon in a couple weeks when I take it to the dyno).

Anyone else have maybe something I should try?

 

Adjustable cam gears need to be set on a dyno to find the best setting for you. If you have a degree wheel and supplemental tools for measuring cam timing I would recommend setting it up at 0 degrees by degree wheel and find out how that relates to indicated timing. You may well be surprised to find you timing gear and cam to be out several degrees from indicated. So once you have it at zero you can advance or retard timing for to make HP were you want it and for best overall performance.
