I´ve always had a curiosity of what would happen and what would you gain ro loose if you used a set of cams for example skunk2 or toda with a SC.

anyone ever try this?

Skunk2 or toda cams will most likely make you lose power. You can get cams, but from what I understand and have read, you'd be better off getting custom ground cams specific to FI. Skunk2 and toda and some of the other big names are meant for N/A. I think it's Crower that can custom grind a cam for you, as well as a few other companies.

damn that sucks, guess if I ever go SC I´ll have to toss out my cams

How about the Crower turbo-spec cams, wouldnt they work well on a SC'd application?

How much of a gain would I expect with the Crower turbo cams... hmm... got me kinda interested

ive been told that the itr cams are the best cam that you can put into a s\c motor !! you can call jackson and they should be able to help you out more that anyone else

 

[csufweed]

best bet is to call jackson racing and ask. they have done a lot of testing with a lot of cams and should know what would work and what wont. HOWEVER, keep in mind that if you get a reprogrammable ecu like Hondata, you can possibly get gains out of the aftermarket cams.

Yea, I will be running a Zdyne Gold SECU, so, time to email JRSC i guess.

99sivtec thats what ive heard from a couple different tuners and i didn't know if that was true so thats why i put the post up there sorry for any confussion on anything

 

[AcidLotus]

I think even JR will tell you not to use ITR cams, but rather stay with your stock cams.

RaceInspired- its post reply not new thread

So, I asked them if a turbo-spec cam like crower would help increase HP, and this is what I got:

"Normally they don't in that a Turbo needs extra exhaust lift to push on it to make power. On a supercharger where you don't have a Turbo as a restriction on the exhaust side of the engine the cam will just blow boost out of the engine and into the exhaust."

i guess he pushed the wrong button
