Bilingual bitches! no mas!!

Hahaha I'm 1/2 Spanish and the only words i know are the ones my grandma used to call me when I was little... Cabrone, flocko, and a few others she saved for when I was really bad.


I don't think the cam is going to make much of a difference. You only adding a few deg. more durration which won't change your effective RPM much and the LSA isn't much different either. Lift? Won't even notice it really.

I'm not a cam expecrt though so who knows. I just see tons of cam swaps and unless you go radically different not much is going to change.

Can you recommend a better cam? I was also thinking about the comp cam 222/224 .566/.568 112° what do you think about this one?

Gilberto, you want a cam with nothing less than a 114 lobe seperation angle because of your blower. This is the angle between the intake and exhaust peaks. The lower the angle, the more valve overlap there is causing cilinder preasure blead. I would only a 112 lsa on a N/A motor.

Thanks man, maybe I'll check with thunder racing to see if they have a custom cam with 114° or 115° LSA.

Tib is correct.

Thunder will have a couple blower cams for you to choose from depending on your stall and expected operating range.
