Anyone using Kelford's turbo cams in anything SFWD? Comparisons? Opinions?

 

i have no opinion on kelford cams but when i was researching cams for my turbo build almost everybody told me to get GSC T1 i recommend looking into them

 

I love my GSC turbo cams but not just any set of cams is one size fits all. It all depends on the setup as to what cams will work for you.

The GSC cams have failed miserably in some cars and in some cars they've performed well beyond expectations.

I can't give you my opinion on the kelfords as I have no experience with them.

 

We have the 176t's in our car. We picked up 20-30 whp at 40 psi and 300-400 rpm quicker spool compared to the Pro 1's. They have stock like idle, and seem to be easy on the rocker pads. Did a back to back test over the summer before a race, definitely impressed with them.

 

T-176-B ?

 

I've been using them for a few years now...By far the best cams that I've ever used and are the easiest on rockers and valvetrain. A few other teams have tried them with great success too.

With other brands of cams I'd have to replace rockers every few months. Now I'm over 2 years on the same rockers.

 

Im liking them so far. Picked up more mid range over the skunk2 tuner2s. Idle not sure of I locked my rockers. But its around 1600to 1700rpm at idle

 

Part number on the cams is 176t.

 

Thanks for the replies guys, definitely good info. Looking into kelford turbo cams for a sfwd setup and wanted to know what the general consensus was on the turbo cams.

 

I gotta say guys, I'm a little torn between the T-176-B and the 176-T Cams. I'm having a hard time finding a decent review of both cams that aren't totally biased. I'm wanting to find something that is good with E85 at the 900 HP range. A little insight would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

I'm confused by the lack of attention to details and prices on their website.

They advertise a T-176-A and a T-176-B for $680
They sell a 176-T for $795 which by specs is smaller

 

what do you suggest, nonvtec? You say you've been using them but I didn't see any specifics to say WHAT you were using? I'm leaning toward the 176-T based on what boosted was saying about his experience with them.

 

there websites suck

 

Where did you find this?

Camshaftshop dot com is Kelford's "overseas" site. This is the best place to go for current info. 176-T is the current turbo cam, T-176-_ cams have been disco'd for several years.

 

I found it on their website:


http://kelfordcams.com/applications.aspx

 

Not sure how you're stuck on that old version of the US site, but if I go to that address and click on applications - there is no pricing, no T-176-A, no T-176-B...?

 

So does anyone know the recommended seat pressure for the 176-t? I've looked at all the places that sell them n haven't found it. Thanks
