How do you guys decide on what cams would be right for your setup? If you have low compression pistons what kind of cams are you looking for and why? I'm choosing cams for my new setup and need advice on how to pick out my cams. I've heard a lot of people making great power on just the stock gsr cams. Wonder if getting different ones are necessary.

 

need more info on your setup.

 

Alright.

Block
81.5mm 8.8/1 compression
eagle rods
acl bearings

Head
Skunk 2 valve train
Skunk 2 intake manifold
Log manifold (upgrading to shortys later)

Turbo
Still undecided on which i might get but looking into the sc61

Power band looking to get good mid-top. Not alright mid and CRAZY top!

 

Theirs a dyno comparison between a bunch of cams that helped me decide

 

Sounds like a basic mild built setup. Dependig on turbo and manifold and intake manifold is what cams u will run. Larger turbos and higher flowing manifolds will allow for more rpm and the head will require a cam to keep the torque longer

Basically you can't go wrong with a set or itr or ctr cams. Gera will get the job done but itr/ctr will make more top end with oem reliability. After that you tart getting into mild to wild cams. If it's a street car stick with oem or some skunk2 tuner 1's

 

THanks a bunch for the advice. Going to go look at the dyno comparisons right now.

 

i chose blox type b's after some research and the price was right
