62380, What next? #14 turbo cams vs cam gears vs afx udp
Posted by freddy_00_69, Dec-18-03 02:21 PM
I am running 7 psi and want to know on any suggestions on what next to get, i am rebuilding within the next two months so the bottom end will get done, but i need something now. I would like top end power, but i know there are other turbo 2gnt'ers that know more about everything and could give give me good suggestions on all of them whether top end or bottom end(AFX pulley).

i have to agree wit the cams but for a diff. reason, the udp would be so much easier to install when the engine is out for rebuild since u can just set it right infront of u and go to town

you'll probably end up wanting something more aggressive than the crane #0014's at some point down the road like crower stage 3's or the crane #0018's. from what i've learned with my car, do things once by buying the best the first time, and then install and tune it right. i'd reccomend the AF/X UDP for now, then save up to completely upgrade anything and everything that moves (and some stuff that doesn't move) in the top end.

Thanks for tne suggestions, i think i am going to get the cam gears and afx pulley that way i can get the cams installed when i get the motor taken out for my rebuild.

I have the #14 cams but I have not installed them yet. Why do you say they are not aggresive enough? They are for turbo cars right?

I don't think NER kept in mind that he will be turbo, the 14's are best for turbo.

If possible the #14 shoud be on hand when the motor is rebuilt(logicaly) if you aren't doing it right now then I'd just say wait for until you're near install to get them and opt for the gears and UDP right now

sorry to steal this thread but, What cames work best on a turbo auto trans that revs only to 6500. I'm mainly looking for torque across the board not a peaky motor.

he doesnt need anything over a 14 unless hes goin all out on the head upgrade, stage 3s and number 18s are worthless and cause nothing more but headaces if you dont have atleast 2 grand invested in the head( major port work, aftermarket valves retainers lifters rockers, os valves etc etc.
