I was inspecting parts before I put a customer's engine back together and everything was good until I got to the intake cam. These cams have been in the car for about 10,000 miles and put down 347 awhp at AMS with the stock motor, stock 8 turbo and 91 octane. I was wiping them clean to check for scoring and I thought my mind was playing tricks on me.




My camera sucks but if you look closely the lobe isn't even cut 90* to the shaft. Not to mention the edges of the lobe aren't even close to being straight. I'll see if I can take better pictures but this was very apparent to the eye. You want quality? You get what you pay for.

 

damn!

 

I'm glad I saw this post!!! I just found some on CL for $300 for intake and exhaust 272's. F that! I'm going Kelford!

 

Yeah the price is soo tempting but I've come across so many of these threads. That angled lobe didn't seem to hurt the tune much though, eh? Whats the supporting mods?

 

Perrin intake, walbro 255, arp head studs, 3" apexi exhaust, ets i/c and piping, 9 bov, mini battery, bc 272 cams, bc springs & retainers, and act clutch.

 

Huh, isn't that about right? Actually a little high depending on if it's a mustang dyno, 91 right??? Where can I get angled lobe cams?

 

Yea what I'm saying is that it made the power but the quality of the grind sucks.

 

So whats the problem it made to much power??

 

Who knows where the lack of quality will be on different sets of cams. Luckily it was on something not so important with these.

 

Idk it seems to me bc has steped up their game slightly. Im running their 280's right now, they work good. I will be switching them out soon as their not the best for stroker motors. But lately Ive been seeing more and more 500+whp cars running bc cams atleast from their parts lists in the dyno section.

 

im a big fan of the fp cams they really seem to know what there doin.

 

It's just another testament to the good old quote;

"Look sideways at a 4G63 and it will make power. It is the most forgiving turbocharged engine we know of." Jared Holstein SCC

 

BC cams are JUNK. they dont make power in anything and the quality is garbage.
