sorry if this is a repost i only did a fast search an couldnt find anything.....

anyways....what cams are you ss/sc guys running or for the ones that did research whats a good brand to go with

i know nothing at all about cams so every little bit of info will help

also post sites that i can check them out when im ready to buy aswell

Thanks in advance

 

i have jbp..and FYI cam gears and cam shafts arent the same thing..cam gears are used to adjust ur powerband(if u buy adjustable cam gears)

 

What type of cams you get would depend on your form of induction, your desired rpm range, your vehicles use conditions (street, weekend racer, full on race car), and lots of little characteristics of the engine.

 

times 2

 

gm racing cam gears.

if you "really" need them with stock cams.

 

272 cams that fit the evo

 

um. evo cams don't fit the lsj

 

do you know this for a fact?

actually i got a good Q for you, the 272 grind for the LSJ cam, and the 272 grind for an EVO arent actually the same are they?!?

from what i've been hearing the 272 for the LSJ isnt actually 272???

 

Holy smokes.

No, Evo cams do not fit in the LSJ.

The 272 grinds that you see us install are 272 duration base circle regrinds from stock cams.

 

yes i do actually.

i have 272's in my car. reground on the stock lsj cam

 

ummm....noob here to the cam gear talk so can someone brake it down a little better please lol

 

first of all is a 272 grind provide a decent driveable car still? how much hp gain could you expect from a 272 if you have lets say 2.7 with header back and a tune with some other smaller supporting mods

 

272 is perfectly streetable.

 

they are a bitch to tune. every car is different, so you have to build you're own file from the ground up to get them to idle right, coastdown, and other little things. i have had mine going for 2 months now with no issues.

you need to do springs, retainers and seat locators to run them. i did 274 on a stage 2 pulley with all bolts ons. 11.5 afr and 19 degree's of timing. this was before the lash adjusters came back to reality and did their job. now im on a 2.7 and the top end is insane

 

awesome, i just learned something new! haha i was gonna see if my EVO cams fit in my LSJ head just for the hell of it.

and the 272 IS an actual 272 duration grind, nice. doesnt it benefit a turbo application more tho?

i've never heard of a 272 grind except for on a turbo car i.e. my evo...

 

every boosted car will benefit u just gotta look at overlap and duration and lift and see if its for u..its all on what ur going for

 

i dont mean to jack the thread but area47, what did you feel gains were on the 274? and would i still need springs, retainers and seat locators? What are lash adjusters and what do they do? thanks

 

it's a much flatter curve with the cams. the car is not as violent to the tires. when 5k comes around, they hit hard

 

but do you still need the new springs and whatnot?

 

area 47, so you have like vtec at 5k....haha

 

274 was his dyno numbers..not the cams...cams are 272

 

ohhh ok. well how much did everything run you (i mean everything you needed to install the cam)

 

the cams are 200+ to get reground (if ur providing urs) if u buy blanks they are like 100 bucks a piece iirc...valve train is like 400 im trying to remember...and then alot of time to install or paying someone to do it for u

 

ravenss i bet he is putting down more than 274 whp

 

r u talkin about area47 or RavenSS' numbers?
