Another cam question
Hi, guys I have been browsing this board for many years now. Usually I just research like crazy to get my answers but am stumped on what would be the best cam for my application and goals. I know the basics of how it all works, just can't make a decision.
Here is a quick rundown on my setup
Sleeved type r 9.5:1 compression
oversized valves
supertech valve springs, retainers
twin scroll topmount exhaust manifold
t4 70mm turbo with .70AR flows 80lbs/min
bmc race intake manifold
reved to 10,000
I am looking to make 800+ on race fuel, and street drive it around 450-500 on pump.
I know everyone jumps right on the skunk2 pro or web cams bandwagon, but considering this car will see alot of street driving would I be better off to go with something more like a type r cam.
Whats everyones thoughts on BC stage 3's. I don't see many people running them, but those that do seem to have great luck with them.
I will even consider regrinds if there are some grinds out there to reach my goals.
Basically I want cam that will work good at lower boost and still be capable to reach the 800whp goal.
If there is anything I'm missing about my setup that would help get an answer please don't hesitate to ask.

Re: Another cam question
based on the description of what you want and not riding any bandwagons, just going with what has been proven to work already at those power levels, pro 1's.

Re: Another cam question
Ok, so a +1 for the pro1's. And by the bandwagon comment I meant every person who has never ran them saying they are the be all end all of cams. If in the end everyone recommends them and they look to be the best option that is what I will be getting.
Thanks for the input, keep it coming.

Re: Another cam question
I would always check V2V clearances when running pro series cams. If it's not possible or practical to do that, I would degree them in as an alternative. Oversize valves, I would always check V2V, no exceptions.
