I dissuaded to go with VT stage II. I did a research and never found anyone to complain about those cams.
Good luck.

You will more than likely need to notch the pistons for the XE278AHs. If you have a built bottom end with notched pistons, then go for it. Otherwise, go for the VT Stage IIs.

i have to buy the bottom anyways..

nitrous + headswapped/cammed car = boom..

i have yet to buy the cams, or bottom end parts, i'm just doing some parts searching now, so i know what to buy this winter

Give Tim a call and have him give you a custom grind. They are like 5 bucks more then the Comps and VT cams.

But worth way more HP.

Besides the heads are still on my car.

definetly get some custom grinds for the nitrous. i was bidding on some stage III custom grind comp cams on eBay a few days ago, but i lost

 

[SamMan]

Can anyone an explanation as to how nitrous cams differ from N/A cams and/or blower cams?

 

[SamMan]

.... Or link me to a spot where I can research it myself?

 

[back_in_black]

call Tim at MPH, he will answer all of your questions

VT II cams are very good for nitrous cars, because of their tight lope (108) I personally have VT stage II NA cams and they are awesome. I have solid motor mounts and the car rocks side to side in every stop light I love it, eventhough some might dislike this.

VT claims that their stage II cams LOVE nitrous.

yea i'll be doing the solid mounts too

If I were to go with VT II's I would need the 2400 stall though right?

 

[streetstang03]

go with a 2800+ converter

if you install the cams prior to the converter, it really wont be a problem, basically, you wont be taking full advantage of the cams.

 

[SamMan]

So the convertor is to get into the effective powerband quicker right?

What is the effective powerband range for those cams?

 

[streetstang03]

VT Stage 2 Camshafts (SOHC)

Hot street cam, needs 3.55+ gears. 2400+ stall. Intake, exhaust, computer and spring upgrade recommended. Agressive idle. RPM range 3000-6500+.

 

[Green4.6GT]

just food for thought...

my car is currently auto.. i ended up getting a complete manual conversion, including a t3650, for less than the price of a decent stall converter..


something to think about.. as manuals are way more fun

Ohhh, man a five speed, head swap, cams, N2O, and 4.30's in the back.

Can you say tire spin? I hope you have DR's on your list there buddy.
