I am going to start building my turbo engine now that my turbo kit is almost finished. And i think im going to order RPW stage 4 turbo Cam 272 intake/ Exhaust and .300 lift. Does anyone know of any other cams out there for our car? Does anyone have any input on this cam thanks in advance.

 

just some advice...
order it 2-3 months in advance

it takes that long

 

In my opinion I don't think you're going to need that aggressive of a cam.

 

4g94t thanks and i knew it was a long wait didnt know it was that long though. And OZ rally why do you think it is a bad idea? It will lope which i like, I am a V8 guy. Plus it will go good with the new manifold im making.

 

thats a pretty large cam. These heads dont rev high and if you are using a decent sized turbo, you wont have much of a powerband since these cams will push it back a good 500-750rpms min.

 

That cam will make more power at higher RPMs and like cincy said our heads won't rev that high if not built.
Daily driving it will be a pain.

 

How about something like a 264?

 

ya.. id stick to the stage2 cams. anything beyond that is really to much without a fully built motor.. exspecially the smaller turbo guys(16g and t28 and smaller). a setup like mine id suggest the stage 2 or 3 cam. and for the 16g guys id say a stage 2 rpw or rrm cam..

ill more then likely be getting the stage4 cam, but ill be revvin 7k on a even bigger turbo then i have now.

 

Nobody's really dyno'd gains seen by using RPW's stage 2, 3 and even 4 camshafts. Without being able to safely rev over 7200rpm, even on a built motor (due to the 4G94's 95.8mm stroke causing dangerously high piston speeds above 7000rpm), you have to wonder what gains can be reasonably had with such a low redline and still be able to maintain streetability.

 

senate.. thats why u dont build it for street..

 

The cam is not for the current engine it is for the engine i am building. I Port and polished the head and it stops flowing at .300 lift. And as for the enine it will be running 18-20psi daily. And i want a 2nd tune with race gas and more boost for then i go to the track. And i know i will have to rev the engine higher with a 272's thats the reason im looking for a good (light) rod/piston combo that way i can spin the motor high when i want to.And when you say 264 are you meaning Stage 2 or 3?

id stick with the stage 2..

get what you want.

i had the stage 2 that rabbit used and he made about ~280 whp
and the powerband looked fine with a T28.

try something bigger. you dont have to use RPW's specs.
you can have a custom grind made
