Hello, Im curious as to what possible maxiumum settings on adj. cam gears you can go on this setup(s2s1,b16a w/Pct's.. 11.4:1)without clearance issues.Also considering, max. setting in various directions(ex. int/exh,adv/rtd ...visversa)
Thanks.
Thanks.
those cams have enough overlap that you could get something wrong.
you might want to advance the exhaust and intake a degree and
see where that leaves you. maybe +2/10in, +1/10ex to get the lobe
centers in there a bit quicker. those cams have good bark to them.
they tend to go flat around 6800rpm for a couple hundred rpm then
wake up again. you might sacrifice a couple peak whp this way but
your driving area will be a bit more beefy
I will assume
you know that separating the cam angles more is more risky with
a bigger cam. moving them forward or retard in the same amount
is fine up to a certain point. moving both forward and sneaking one
out one more degree I think is a safe place to start. it also depends
on if you have a milled head or thinner head gasket, keep that in
mind
good luck. standalone tuning with stock cam timing
is better than a million adjustments and trusting the butt dyno.
