Default Buddy Club stage5 cams

So who uses these and with how much success, and what power? I found 92typeR used them but anyone else?

Could that be any more open ended? Did you try searching?

I don't think there are any dyno graphs on here minus the comparison that 92TypeR did. Not really any info or data with the Buddy Club Spec 5s or Spec 6s.

They have the same lift as the Pro2s with a bit more duration. In theory they should make excellent power... assuming you are even able to run and tune them.

Happy? Like I said, they are really big cams. If you have the room to actually tune them, they should make good power.

Those cams are GIGANTIC. If you're building a street motor /thread.
If your building a massive stroker with lots of compression, be the guinea pig. The second discussion on those cams CLEARLY stated they are GIGANTIC and unless you run 13.5:1CR and 2L+ of displacement you will get better gains and usable power with different cams.

So share your setup if this is such a big deal hot topic....

Those cams you can pull a nice 260 on e85. i seen a couple threads out on the web about those cams. They are huge. The spec 3's are especially nice too. But you gotta be on your **** if you are running these big boys. Stricktly track use. And since when did they hace Spec 6's? Im a huge Buddy Club fan. Min specs for those cams are 12:5:1 (risky)- and be sure to run 2.0.

Buddy club never disappoints

I have both the Spec5's and Pro3's, and will be building a 92x84 stroker with 12.5cr. I will definitely use both and give feedback when all is done.

^^ Be the guinea pig then. If you have both sets you have nothing to lose. Help all of us learn. I would guess they will perform well on a setup that big. Like said earlier not many people have run them because they are so big and sound like a pain to tune. I wasn't trying to come across as a smart *** or a dick but you were asking and for all we knew is they were going in a B16. Good luck with them.

Haven't tested the 5's but I have personally used the (Buddy Club Spec 4's) before and had GREAT! results with them on a B20Vtec 84.5/89 motor

Toda ITB's with a basic hytech big tube rep header. I later sold that header for a 4-1 RMF drag header and went to Pro3 cams but never redyno'd the setup

Weird. I would have expected those to make power up towards 9k. Must have had a full PNP head and stuff as well? That graph makes them look small. Especially having the TQ fall off hard at 7k as well.

For the millionth time this week.... BCIVs are the same as S2 Tuner 2s. They aren't nearly as aggressive as people make them out to be, IDK why they have this rep of being a big cam.

They are SLIGHTLY larger than Pro 1s, and will carry power to about 8500 depending on the setup.

It looks like Do-Work's motor was choked off by the ITBs, I imagine with a Victor X and 70mm TB he would make power to almost 9k.

You just reitterated my point... I wasn't saying they were huge, just surprised they fell on their face where they did. Jesus
That looks like a stock ITR graph just w/ bigger numbers

Sorry if I came off like a dick, just woke up, hadn't smoked yet.

I think his powerband falling off was more in part to the intake setup... I've seen those cams make power up to 9k.

I'm guessing the Toda ITBs are the 48mm version, it's what OBX copied theirs from.

It's all good but you came at me when we were stating the same thing im different ways haha. Those cams were being cut short. That's all I was getting at, not that they are big.

Just to keep on the Op's topic, I find it strange they went from the spec 4 to such a big jump in the spec 5. I think if the spec 5 had a mix of pro 2 charateristics (primaries) and tuner 3 characteristics (vtec) it would have been a much better cam for bigger 2L builds with 12.5:1CR. Just a missed opportunity by them IMO

Head was just cleaned up nothing crazy on the port and polish side. The BC cams are on the small side like he said, but even with the same setup on Toda ITBs when I was going to retune on the new Pro3's and RMF header we were looking to see things toward the 250whp range on pump gas
