looking for info on revolver cams

searched around and there's me recent info on them since they are not made anymore. So I'm wondering who is still running these, have you before, and if so what was your experience with them, what issues did you have, who tuned them, what turbo and supporting mods were you running, what cam gear settings worked best etc.. Anything else would be much appreciated as well... Graphs, plots etc. TIA

this was with the stock turbo. you can probably contact EZ he bought the car from timzcat. However Ethan(EZ) has now sold the car to someone else. Do you have a set or just asking? there are better cams out now.

Oh wow that was with a 9.8 hotside as well.. Pretty impressive.. Ill be running these on a VERY highly ported IX turbo and then testing a certain companies stock based turbo.

Heres my mod list:
Ported IX turbo
ported intake
ported TB
ported coated exhaust mani
supertech singles w/Ti retainers
Jam no tick lifters
Straight catless exhaust
lightly ported head


I think I might test the Tomei's after this and see which I like better for what Im doing.

Stevster: Just exactly what sort of tests will you be conducting(Dyno, Road test, DataLogs, etc.)? What octane gasoline will you be using? Will you be tuning via EcuFlash?

I have some with a p&p head and a Buschur 9-5 turbo. I like them. Never been dyno'd though, so I cannot give specific numbers.

I will be testing back to back on the Mustang dyno at GST motorsports with 91oct and most likely maximal (116oct I believe) and possibly E85.. Its not something that will be done in a timely manner or possibly at all if I can hit the numbers I want with the revolvers and I can get them to not stall on me. I will hopefully also be testing a stock based turbo for a company here shortly.. Hence why Im going to be on a stock turbo at first, that way its a direct comparison.

I ran a set for a while and was unable to get good results with them. The car held way too much boost and made too little power. Others have had better luck, still others have degreed them and fixed the problem. Personally I stick to FP cams now.
