Still rather incomplete.
What you're suggesting is ensure the cam is properly degreed more than anything else?

Well its standard in any other platform, but we seem to skip right over it.
On the cam card you'll have valve timing, you're supposed to use a timing wheel to make sure the valve events occur at their specified time.
If not, you have to use a timing set that allows you to advance or retard the cam to get it as close to the specified timing to ensure it performs as designed.
Not so much, just saying that even drastic swings in cam design never netted more than a few horsepower here or there... most of the time anything severe resulted in powerband loss like you would find in a TEP / IS4, without peak power gains more than a hp or 2.
With the turbo stuff, we were making peak power around 4700rpms because the boost spiked up a bit.... otherwise it was flat across on our ST4/xpz stuff.
Thanks for clarifying.
I guess the .550-.580 lift is why ZZP doesn't seem too willing to set me up with their XPZ cam using 1.7 rollers. They told me it might bind using 3/8 pushrods, though on their site it says can be used with 1.7 rockers. I sent an email to Blue earlier about the XPZ cam card Matt and him were discussing, but I don't know if he received it with this new forum design.
GT2 cam ftw?
Well im looking for easy on valvetrain yet sound cool. Gt2 should fit that bill.
Smaller than nic yet still quite a bit of overlap.
GT2 lift and morreeee separation...think, 108*?
Gt2 is 111 lsa?
110*, GT1 is 112* IIRC, but both have same peak lift?
Odd.
Want to see the gt2 and vs cam card?
GT2 > VS.
Already seen that mess.
You get my pm?
Im no longer entirely convinced.
Still going to do it anyways.
