60728, do cams + gears help our cars out much? Posted by anotherblitzedeclipse, Oct-05-03 09:43 AM I bought some #10 cams and some AEM cam gears, and while I am anxiously waiting for them in the mail I was wondering: | |

60732, RE: do cams + gears help our cars out much? Posted by eclipse_99rs, Oct-05-03 10:04 AM what company makes the cams you bought? I heard that #16 was the one to go with but i have no personal experience. There was a recient post about cam shafts. Also you will need to go to a dyno to get the most out of your cam gears. | |

60736, RE: do cams + gears help our cars out much? Posted by MotoFool, Oct-05-03 11:01 AM u might see 20hp from crane 10's they are the most mild cams jsut barely a step above the stock cams... | |

60741, RE: do cams + gears help our cars out much? Posted by Avenger, Oct-05-03 11:28 AM #10's maybe the mildest billet cams made for our cars but they are much better than stock cams and quite a bit up from the stock specs ... take a look at the sticky post about cams in the Advanced Tuning section. Todd runs the #10 cranes. He makes 135 wHP and runs 15.3s. | |

60809, RE: do cams + gears help our cars out much? Posted by Initial DSM, Oct-06-03 09:16 AM I think 16 is too much for our cars if you stay NA, unless you have some good electronic setup to help the idle. I would say go up to 14 cams, 10 might be a little too mild for all that work. | |

60818, RE: do cams + gears help our cars out much? Posted by totaleklipse97, Oct-06-03 10:48 AM actually the 12, and 14's are made for turbo cars and the 16's are for NA. If you got with something lower u will need cam gears to set the overlap just right. They explain it well in teh cams thread in advanced tuning. i don't the the #'s actually correspond to increasing duration and lift of the cams. | |

60909, RE: do cams + gears help our cars out much? Posted by TalonSpeed, Oct-07-03 09:17 AM I have crane 16s, car idles fine, drives fine, and runs fine. There is just this loud engine growl around 4-6k rpm then a real loud one around 6-7.2k. | |
