Different Cam More HP?

[snoboardcore]

Hey guys i currently am running the b303 cam with my set up(in my sig) which is .480/.480 284/284 224/224 @.50 which isn't a sc cam by switching to this wolverine cam .491/.509 212/222 107/117 @.50 will i be making more hp and if so approx how much? Thanks.

Ya, should make a major difference a B cam is near worthless.

 

[snoboardcore]

does any one no how much more hp this cam will prob make. With the setup now its 357rwhp with the B-cam with the wolverine cam what can i be expecting?

A cam change guesstimate with your combo is very hard to predict.
When i did my last post i must not of read your whole post, at B cam, i stopped and posted, sorry.

I just know the B is not the best, i probably wouldn't use the other you listed either.

Lose the B cam,theres much better cams out there these days with better driveability and more HP potential than the ancient B cam.

Not true. But there are better cams for your combo than the B303. If you are gonna spend the money a custom made cam might be what you want.

FTI makes custom cams for like $350 I think. Almost any cam worth buyign will cost about $250 or more. I'd be worth the extra $100 IMO.

get an anderson b 21 its there blower specific cam they make the best ots cams around in my opinion

a bigger cam that stock will definatly make more HP, but at higher RPMs.

the question is not how much HP it will add. but is the motor setup to effectivly rev to those RPM where the cam starts working and making power.... and in the topic makers case i think his car can and then some
but i would say the B cam should add around 15-20 HP or soi think the B cam is a good street cam. Sounds good, not too radical top where the car cant idle and from what i see it works. as people still use the cam to this day even though how "old" it is....

but also as stated above, there are some better choices, i hear the TFS stage 2 is pretty mean, i think the motor is good for a a tfs2 cam

 

[aleborjas]

non of ford cams are good for supercharger you need a cam that have more exhaust lift and more exhaust duration like stage 2 cam from TFS and Xtreme Energy cams from compcams like XE274HR or NX274HR!!!!
forget about wolverine cam and B,E,F........!

well i already bought the wolverine cam because i got a good price on it and im only lookin to go to 450rwhp. So the wolverine cam, 80mm maf, 42lb injectors and like 6-7lbs of boost should put me there.

No way that thing's gonna pick up 100whp.

No way that thing's gonna pick up 100whp.

I second that - maybe 20-30 tops - thought the bcam def has to go w/ your power combo - you should also look into a set of valve springs that will go w/ the cam that you get, don't just reuse the regular edelbrock valvesprings w/ a diff cam, go w/ a specific set w/ the right spring constant for your new LIFT -

 

[Paul Perreca]

wait 6-7 MORE lbs of boost? or 6-7 total...

 

[snoboardcore]

6-7 total and i wanna be at 450 so then what cam do you recommend with out going custom.

 

[IntenseBlue]

AFM or Comp Cams blower cams. Still don't think you're gonna make 450whp though. I could be wrong.

 

[snoboardcore]

i was told by a few guys i could make it with that wolverine cam but i dont wanna install it then only make like 20 more hps so i want a cam i can make good hp off of.

 

[snoboardcore]

what about a TFS Stage 2 cam? Will i beable to make good power off of that because i can get a good price on that cam.

 

[Dbeck002]

TFS2 is an NA cam that will hurt your supercharger performance.


Call up a custom cam manufacturer like FTI or the other guys, anderson I think.

Get a Real supercharger cam, the TFS2 is good for a stroker with nitrous, not a small engine with boost.

 

[snoboardcore]

i dont want to go custom because i dont wanna figure out all the stuff needed for them to make the cam also i dont wanna pay some one to figure out the stuff needed for them to make the cam. so i just want a good blower cam that ill make me some good hp.

 

[Dbeck002]

Well there are cams out there that arent necessarily labeled "Blower" cams but could suit the purpose well.

Search through a summit catalog, look for cams with 112-114 LSA, less duration but a lot of lift.

Mkae sure your heads can handle the lift and check piston to valve clearance too. You dont want to bend a valve.

Anyway, good luck.


BTW that wolverine cam is worse than the stock cam, whoever grinded that should be shot.
