I'm doing a simple build 12:5 81.5 mm and I was just looking for suggestions on cams. It's not going to be a daily driver its just for street/track with a 100 shot I'm just about ready for assembly just trying to decide on cams and any input would be great thanks.

 

Pick a cam best suited for n/a.
I have close the same build 1.8 81.5 12:1cr with pro 2s made 198 n/a and 319/303 on 120 shot dp

 

@shrugs wow I would think you'd make a lot more on motor with pro 2s I had an lsv with pistons and rods nothing else stock fuel stock head stock manifold not even a fuel pump and I made what you made.

 

Yeah, but on what dyno? My point exactly... either way, Skunk2 Pro 2's would be perfect for your basic build. There are other choices of course including up to custom cams.

 

It was a dyno jet not looking for custom cams something affordable and proven on a nitrous set up.

 

Typically due to the nature of nitrous, you'll want to go with a bigger exhaust cam and a nice sized intake cam, this can differ slightly from motor to motor but there are companies out there that do offer options that need cams tailored to their setup. People always want something thats affordable, or cheap, but want the best suited, you wont necessarly find that easily. If you wanted to do it correctly with what's proven, you'd need to buy two different camshaft profiles to suit your motor. This is why "custom" camshafts, which are very affordable, are a better option for something such as this.

I've tuned a few nitrous setups. From Real world experince, i can tell you the best outcome that i've had was with a pro1 intake and pro2 exhaust. This was a piston/rod GSR, stock sleeves, 150 shot, with bolt ons.

 

There just numbers. Lol. My tuners dyno is know for low numbers and 4k above sea level doesnt help. Did ur lsv run 12.8s? N/A

 

Oh aight lol that makes sense and I never got to track that set up.

 

Thanks for the info ill definitely look into it.

 

Use cams as it was with N/A. The more power you make off the bottle the more power you make on it.

I've even used pro3 on Bseries to Bisi level X on D series... they all work wonderfully.

 

I was looking at the pro 3s I was just curious if that would be too aggressive for a 100 shot stock sleeve.

 

Thanks for everyones input iv decided to go with the pro 3s...

 

Don't use pro 3's unless you know what you are doing. They are not nub friendly.

 

Well, based upon your first response, people wouldn't know that.

 

iv never used pro 3s and i wouldnt stay away from them because they are not noob friendly lol far from a noob, noob to nitrous yes not to a motor though and im sure i can handle them and the reason why i decided to use pro 3s was because it was proven to me first hand what they can do for my set up and i was impressed.

 

How is that possible? Somebody let you borrow a set? That would be the ONLY way...

 

Someone has the same set up as me and literally tried all 3 cams the car has seen 9s on 2 shots weighing at 1800lbs and 10s on a 100 shot

 

everyone always runs 9s and 10s on the internet, its crazy

 

Quoted for the ******* truth. Most people that claim that have never been to a drag strip. ***** annoying.

 

Iv seen the car do it just never knew the set up its a shop car I mean this isn't Ripleys believe it or not I'm not saying you guys have to believe me lol

 

And the person that showed me and gave me the advice is reputable a lot of fast cars too.

 

I wanna see the 9 second nitrous car. Not saying it is isn't possible, I just like seeing nitrous cars that run hard.

 

I havent seen a single honda run anything less then high 11's, and the ones that did run high 11's were full all out drag car's that got trailered to the track. I know there are maybe...3 or 4 car's around here that run between 8-10 seconds, and they are fully sponsored drag racers that only race in professional events. Not your typical gamblers night people.

 

...but... the nitrous...

 

typically makes noises like PSSSSHHHH ...*BOOM* *clunk clunk clunk*
