[deftsound]

WHY CANT WE USE ALL CAPS?, and ive started hearing good things about patriot. also comp cams are the only way to go, all my friends have em and absolutly love them. im gettin mine in march, and theyll be 262s. AND I HAPPEN TO LIKE ALL CAPS

go ahead and use all caps but no one is going to bother trying to read what you type, its hard on the eye and makes it difficult to read

but hey, frankly I don't give a ****, I'm just not going to bother to read your threads...

I'm new to this forum, so I feel like I've wandered into somebody's living room. But......I'm buying cams now and have been on a search for awhile. I'm already s/c'd (2000GT with P1SC Procharger). You will need a "blower cam" which will work as a gentleman on your N/A for now. VT Competition Engine Development (formerly VT Engines) has a new blower cam they will be offering "off the shelf" starting this week. It is a 222 I/235 E duration, .567 I/.540 E lift and 114* lobe separation angle (LSA). It makes a good blower cam because of its LSA which keeps the intake forced induction from going out the exhaust valve during overlap, since there is very little, if any valve overlap due to the LSA. Also, the combination of a high intake lift coupled with a moderate intake duration makes for good low end torque and increased rpm throughout the range. It will also shift the powerband to the right. I'm thinking I will (hopefully) be shifting at about 6500 instead of 6100 now. Scott at VT is really good to talk to. He doesn't rush you through and will talk about your setup. Good luck.

Hold up you talked to VT??? If you did run away from that place as fast as possible, they have screwed countless people on this site and others. Unless something major has changed and I dont know about it that place went under.

Read my previous post and go to Jim he started his own company and is someone you can trust. He was a former employee and finally quit because he was tired of people getting screwed and him getting blamed.
