44960, Turbo or Drag cams
Posted by 992gnt, Mar-18-03 03:20 AM
I'm getting impatient waiting for Crane to make another batch of the #14 Turbo cams. I've been waiting 3 weeks already, with no news on how much longer it will be before I can get them. The #16 cams are in stock though. They are a more agressive 'Drag' grind, maybe I should just go with those??? Any opinions?

Well, other than no split duration and a higher lift, the cam specs are almost identical. So I'm getting the 16's. I won't be dynoing before I put them in, so my only comparison will be by the butt-meter. I'll post my impressions of them hopefully next week, after I get done with 'thegame's turbo install this weekend.

I've wandered how the drag grinds would do as well. In theory, it sounds like they should work fine although they might hurt your low end slightly. I don't really know. Definitely tell us your impressions after you run them.

There is a great discussion about cams right now in the performance forum and some great charts. Maybe they can help.

Greg, I'm real interested to see how they rate on the butt-o-meter. Its nice to see someone with a turbo go with a little more aggressive cam. Definately keep us posted :thumbsup
