RevolutionRaceWorks Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 That's a comp grind is it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 good choice on the blower! That cam looks well-suited if not purpose-designed for a supercharger; if I were to buy a NOS-specific cam that's nowhere close to what I would pick, not that I'm any NOS expert at all but that's my opinion.

RevolutionRaceWorks Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Yep.. thats my cam.. and it's getting a procharger to it. That cam with the Dart heads long tubes 3000 stall and a full zippy built trans will go very low 13's on horsepower. Thats my combo right now. I have ready to go for it the Procharger D1sc with air to air intercooling.. the larger upgraded intercooler and I Fabbed up some 3 1/2 and 4 inch plumbing. With that blower I should see mid 11's if I can get the truck to hook up. I really think everyone is going to change their mind about vortech when I bring my truck out next year with a procharger on it Great cam very agressive idle and though the corsa.. well lets just say everyone thats heard it has had to go and get a new pair of shorts afterwards.

I was also wondering what spring u went with on ur cam I thought about getting 921 because they are good up to 650 of lift! I feel like Im asking u a million ?!! I'm guessing the 918s would be a better fit; I'm thinking the 921s have way more seat pressure than that lobe needs. Valve seat life is less with stiffer springs (seat recession etc) not to mention they do not last as long. It is not uncommon with more agressive lobe designs that need 921 springs to require valvespring replacement every 50K-miles. Contact the cam company/designer and get the pressures required (both on the seat and over the nose) and add 10% to it to account for valvespring break-in. Mr. P.
