BOOSTED CAMS???

[KidCapri50]

Sorry did not have time to search, but I have a procharged GT with stock bottom end and need to know what is recommended for cams , valve springs and retainers as far as boost goes. What company and/or specs. Any info is great.

look into VT cams they have a good selection for F/I cams the specs vary depending on the stg you get

Check out Crower as well. They are really good cams.

I picked up 86rwhp from my S292 cams, and Lt's with no other changes. I was having trouble with it breaking up a little bit on top. That's because of a bad ground on my KB BAP that I finally found and fixed. The tuner said if it wasn't for that I would have seen 15 more. I just dropped them in with the AFM cam tool, and I'm still using the stock valve springs.

When you say you just dropped them in.....How long a project was it and do you have a sweet lope at idle? I'm looking for a nice bit of lope sound at idle but don't want to sacrifice too much idle quality or vacuum on my 99 auto vert. When I put the x303s in my 89 auto vert, the sound was awesome but I had to give it a second or 2 before I backed out of the driveway because it felt like the power brakes were a bit slow to pressure up I guess maybe the combination of the cams and underdrive pulleys was a bit over the top for the power accessories?

I probably had 6-7 total hours in it. They only have a 531 lift but an advertised duration of 292 but is actually around 242 at .050 lift.


Heres a vid it wasn't quit warmed up, so the idle was little higher than normal.

Id did the VT stage2 Blower cams and springs they sound great and the car pulls soooo much harder uop top.

I also have the HP 292S in my car with stock valve springs. With the cams and a retune with from 460rwhp to 530rwhp. The car pulls the whole way to redline. The only thing is you'll lose some low end grunt with the cams.

would it be too much for the stock block/internals to handle if i got blower cams? (see sig for setup/HP)
