My advice. Go cams. You want em your money just do it. Like the rest of these guys I wouldn't. No need. These motors are different to jap motors. What works on them generally goes backwards on these barras. Edited 24/10/16 05:12 AM by ROB83R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kerb Warrior Donating Members 612 Member For: 12y 3m 15d Gender: Male Location: Perth, Western Australia Posted 24/10/16 05:21 AM Share Posted 24/10/16 05:21 AM Well, with the bigger target of 1,000 in mind cams certainly wouldn't hurt. But again, lot to consider. Driveability, whether you want it on the street, and as Tocchi said, build the motor strong without cams, and go a bigger turbo. I think I'd go this way too.

MBAF Bronze Donating Members 2,156 Member For: 8y 4m 26d Posted 24/10/16 05:43 AM Share Posted 24/10/16 05:43 AM Nothing wrong with going cams at all...flowing the head isnt required unless you plan spinning the thing up 8k and on. In the end do what you feel is best and what the tuner/mechanic says. There is always going to be people saying yes and no. And on a side note.......6870 :D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH8TOADS Silver Donating Members 3,618 Member For: 19y 6m 2d Gender: Male Location: OZ Posted 24/10/16 07:03 AM Share Posted 24/10/16 07:03 AM I have Stage 4 Atomic Cams. They drop straight in, work well with VCT and were easy to tune. As expected fuel economy will go down hill though. I've got mine sounding stock and the car drives mint, you wouldn't know it had bigger cams. You know they're helping airflow because if you run an open loop boost control system you will drop about 1.5 - 2psi off you boost curve. Add the boost back in, and tune to suit, you obviously pick up power. The Stage 4's aren't overly aggressive and I still make peak power around 5300rpm. On a Faraone Mainline Hub dyno, GTX35, 18psi, Stage 4 cams I made 460kw at the axles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head work, cams, steel crank, big turbo. All = more power, less boost and reliability 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
