Thread: Nic or XP?

Xp if you want to go intercooled...NIC if you don't want to

I heard much better gains from nic but i imagine you dont want to tune it :P or is there something else im unaware of and honestly idk if ima end up intercooling it anyway. Next thing after cam will be building a trans so i have one when this one blows up down the road. Then once i have the built trans throwing an intercooler on is pointless ill just go turbo at that point. So i want the most gains out of this but at the same time be safe. With the nic being so agressive and needed a really solid tune would it me more problimatic to run seeing i dd it in the winter? Also wont the 60# be way overkill until i plan on turbo? im not going to be running e85 just 93 and race gas on track days.

Go ahead and give your opinion then

To read into the name of the cam means you're just falling for the marketing gimmick and aren't looking at the design itself.



The NIC isn't aggressive, it's just on a tighter LSA and lopes a bit more at idle. It is not any more or less difficult to tune, and it's name doesn't mean it makes power similar to other cams that also have an intercooler.
The XP cam is the better cam.

I made 291whp SAE (299 STD) on a dynojet with a 3.2 pulley, headers, and an XP cam non intercooled... on 93 octane.
That same setup ran a 12.7 @ 108 on street tires.

The 60s are so much better than the 42s. Not overkill at all.

Thankyou sir well then im gonna hope for 300whp with the genv and a 12.5 just so i can beat you :P

Also when do you prefer to tune this thing? I can have the cam in w/e but would you rather wait till summer or does it not matter. Im impatient so a cam sitting in my house for a few months is going to kill me :P

^this is what I was looking for instead of a a bunch of no's...I have seen people with NIC cam put down good numbers also but people that go xp generally go IC at some point most people with NIC don't IC and like the harsh idle and don't care about mpg...im not disagreeing that the xp puts down better numbers just was saying if he wants to IC at some point XP would be better
